Jordan, Wizards humilate Celtics

A night after getting beat by the Chicago Bulls in their own building, the Boston Celtics got handed their worst defeat in franchise history by Michael Jordan and the Washington Wizards.

Jordan scored 21 points in 22 minutes as the Wizards beat the Celtics 114-69 Thursday night.

The 45-point loss topped Boston's previous worst of 42 points, a 128-84 loss at Portland on Jan. 4, 1977. It was the third-biggest margin of victory in Wizards history.

Hassell takes the offensive

K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune writes "Less than two weeks ago, Trenton Hassell walked out of a home exhibition game at halftime after a heated exchange with coach Bill Cartwright. Wednesday night, Hassell walked out of the FleetCenter a hero."

Hassell scored the Bulls final 8 points including a game winning 3-pointer with one minute remaining in the Bulls’ 99-96 victory over the Boston Celtics. "My role is playing defense," Hassell said. "But I know I can score. That's all I did in college."

Hassell was given the chore of guarding the Celtics Paul Pierce who finished with 28 points for the game, but scored only 5 points in the 4th quarter.
