Game StoryWASHINGTON (Ticker) -- Jerry Stackhouse struggled through one of his worst games of the season. Christian Laettner stepped up with his best game. Laettner recorded his first double-double of the season with 18 points and 11 rebounds as the Washington Wizards extended their season-high winning streak to five games with a 101-98 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Stackhouse was held to 10 points on 2-of-14 shooting after scoring 37 in Monday's 100-95 win over the Boston Celtics. Laettner helped pick of the slack, hitting three key baskets in the fourth quarter, each one coming after the Bulls pulled within a point. "My teammates and coaches are always barking at me to shoot more," said Laettner, who recorded season highs in points and rebounds. "I tell them I will when I feel like I am open. In the fourth quarter, people are going to collapse on (Michael) Jordan and Stackhouse even more, and if I step away from the basket and shoot my 18-foot jumper, I am going to be wide open." Laettner made 7-of-9 from the field, including all three attempts in the fourth quarter. "I bet you I tell Christian, more than any other coach in the league, to shoot more," Washington coach Doug Collins said. "He is our best shooter. I get aggravated with him sometimes when he passes up a shot." Laettner's last basket gave the Wizards a 95-92 lead with 1:27 remaining. Following a finger roll by Chicago's Jamal Crawford, Larry Hughes' runner in the lane made it 97-94 with 18 seconds left. After Chicago's Jalen Rose made 1-of-2 from the line, Stackhouse converted a pair with 15 seconds to go to give the Wizards a 99-95 lead. Laettner added two more free throws with five seconds remaining before Crawford hit a meaningless 3-pointer at the buzzer. The Wizards (18-17) moved over .500 for the first time since they were 6-5 on November 17. Seeking just its second road win of the season, Chicago shot 56 percent (24-of-43) from the field in the first half en route to a 59-48 lead at the intermission. The Wizards responded with perhaps their best 12-minute stretch of the season, shooting 72 percent (13-of-18) and outscoring the Bulls, 36-14, in the third quarter. Washington turned an 11-point deficit into an 11-point lead, taking an 84-73 advantage into the fourth period. "What killed us was the third quarter," Chicago coach Bill Cartwright said. "I thought we lost our poise and we lost that aggressiveness that we had carried throughout the first half." Hughes and Michael Jordan scored 10 points apiece in the quarter and finished with 22 and 14, respectively. Jordan improved to 5-1 against his former team. "Without a doubt, Michael is the barometer of our team," Collins said. "He came out sluggishly and our whole team was sluggish. Instead of picking him up, we played a very sluggish first half. Then Michael came up in the third quarter with a little spurt, and it livened us up." "We just kind of walked through the first half," Jordan added. "Third quarter, we just kind of picked it up. Our defense picked up, offense picked up and we just took control of the game." Donyell Marshall scored 24 points on 10-of-15 shooting for the Bulls, who started the final quarter with a 9-0 spurt, closing to 84-82 on Fred Hoiberg's jumper with 9:44 to go. But the Wizards never relinquished the lead. Rose, Chicago's leading scorer the previous eight games, also was held to just 10 points on 4-of-17 shooting. The loss snapped a modest two-game winning streak for the Bulls. "They (teammates) played their butts off in order to win that game," Rose said. "Unfortunately, I didn't step up and play the way I am capable of playing." Washington took the lead for good, 71-69, on Brendon Haywood's two foul shots with 4:03 left in the third period. Crawford and Eddy Curry chipped in with 15 points apiece for the Bulls.
