Michael Jordan's Return to Chicago Brings Out Hometown fans

Michael Jordan's Washington Wizards team dominated the Chicago Bulls 107-82 at the United Center, with Jordan scoring 10 points and showing no signs of decline despite his age. The game was so one-sided that Jordan didn't even play in the fourth quarter, much to the dismay of the fans who left in droves after the third quarter. The Wizards' victory was a testament to Jordan's enduring skills, even in a new era of basketball.
