WASHINGTON � After a night of watching hoops, it was time for the president to take the court himself.

Barack Obama played basketball for nearly two hours today at the Interior Department, a few blocks from the White House. On Friday night, Obama watched from courtside at the Verizon Center as his hometown Chicago Bulls lost to the Washington Wizards.

For the pickup game, the president took along a friend from Chicago and a group of aides.
