The season’s winding down for the Wizards, and the minutes for starters are starting to wane. An important time for evaluation of younger players is underway, but Washington unfortunately didn’t have enough Wednesday night at home to top the Bulls, losing 115-114.
Bradley Beal scored 19 points in 22 minutes before sitting out most of the second half, while the two starting big men in Bobby Portis (20 points, 10 rebounds) and Thomas Bryant (20 points, 14 rebounds) led the was for the Wizards. Jordan McRae and Sam Dekker added 14 points, and Jabari Parker left the game early with a left knee sprain.
