February 28, 2009; Wizards defeated the Bulls, with Pres. Obama along the sidelines!

US Pres. Barack Obama is from Illinois and is a known Chicago Bull fan, but today, he is torn between the two teams that he favors the most.

And as we all know, the White House is located right in the heart of Washington, D.C., so that makes the Washington Wizards his second favorite team.

The Wizards and the Bulls faced off at the Verizon Center in Washington, where Pres. Obama sat at courtside to watch the action up close. The Wizards brought the worst record in the East into the game at 13-44, while the Bulls had a 26-32 win-loss slate, which is 10th in the East.

The Wizards had a strong start, leading 27-18 by the end of the first quarter, and they never looked back. Much to the shiggrin of the President, the Wizards secured a 113-90 win as they improve their record to 14-44, still the worst in the East. The Bulls dropped to 26-33, still 10th in the East.

The Wizards were led by team co-captain Antawn Jamison with a double-double performance, scoring 27 points and grabbing 11 boards. And more amazingly, seven another Wizard scored in double digits. Caron Butler and Mike James both scored 14. Darius Songaila, Andray Blatche and Nick Young scored 12 each, while Dominic McGuire and JaVale McGee scored 10 each. The Wizards are still without the services of big men Etan Thomas and Brendan Haywood and their All-Star guard Gilbert Arenas, who is now, according to reports, practicing with the team.
