Bradley Beal came on strong late in regulation to finish with 26 points, Nene scored six of his 17 points in overtime and the Wizards beat the Chicago Bulls 101-99 Tuesday to take a 2-0 lead in their first-round series. Game 3 is Friday at Washington.

The Wizards couldn't maintain a 17-point first-quarter lead and had to rally from 10 down in the fourth.

D.J. Augustin led Chicago with 25 points but cooled off late in the game with Trevor Ariza guarding him. Taj Gibson had 22 points and 10 rebounds. Joakim Noah added 20 points and 12 boards, but the Bulls find themselves in a huge hole after dropping two at home.
