The Washington Wizards lost to the Chicago Bulls 119-89 on Friday, dropping to 17-64 on the season.
Justin Champagnie opened the first frame the same way he’d opened the previous three contests: aggressive. The 23-year-old forward scored nine points in the opening frame on 4-for-6 shooting to keep Washington afloat. Chicago led 26-24 entering the second quarter after a late and-1 layup from guard Coby White.
Tristan Vukcevic, fresh off a career-high 24 points against Philadelphia, continued his strong play, scoring 11 first-half points after starting a perfect 4-for-4 from the field. Kyshawn George contributed as well, draining a pair of triples to keep Chicago from running away with the game early.
