The Washington Wizards are on a win-streak, baby! They survived an absolute nail-biter against the Chicago Bulls, 102-100.
Right out of the gate, you could tell that the Bulls would be a much greater challenge than the Indiana Pacers from the season opener. Washington started off aggressive, connecting on their first five shots and taking a 13-8 lead early. The ball movement was crisp, with 6 of the first 8 makes coming off an assist as seven different Wizards got on the scoring column.
But the Bulls weren’t rolling over. The trio of DeMar DeRozan, Ayo Dosunmu, and Nikola Vucevic tallied 25 of their 30 points to give Chicago a four-point lead at the end of the first.
