Bulls build big lead, top Wizards 98-86 (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Ben Gordon scored 22 points and the Chicago Bulls hung on for a 98-86 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday after watching a 21-point lead dwindle to seven in the fourth quarter. The Bulls spent most of the night picking on the Eastern Conference's worst team, then hung on after a defensive lapse allowed the Wizards to get back into the game.
