WASHINGTON — Finally playing as if their chance at a playoff berth was on the line, the Washington Wizards won a second straight lopsided victory over a team just ahead of them in the standings, beating the Chicago Bulls, 117-96, behind point guard John Wall's triple double Wednesday night.

Wall had 29 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, outplaying the Bulls' Derrick Rose, who returned after missing two games with a strained groin and had 16 points and four assists.

The Wizards' Bradley Beal scored 20 points and reserve Garrett Temple 15, all in the first half, when he shot 5-for-5 on 3-pointers.
