Thaddeus Young finished with 23 points for the
Bulls, who snapped an eight-game losing streak. Tomas Satoransky
posted a double-double against his former team with 15 points
and 13 assists.
Bradley Beal scored a career-high 53 points in a losing effort
for the Wizards, who have lost back-to-back games. Beal shot 15
of 27 from the field, 5 of 11 from beyond the arc and 18 of 20
from the free-throw line.
Both teams made more than half of their shots from the field.
Chicago shot 55.6 percent (45 of 81) overall and 48.6 percent
(18 of 37) from 3-point range, and Washington shot 50.7 percent
(37 of 73) from the field and 40.0 percent (12 of 30) from deep.
Washington opened the fourth quarter on a 20-11 run to close the
gap to 112-105 with 6:08 remaining. But Satoransky made a
3-pointer to provide some breathing room at 115-105 with 5:46
left.
The Bulls pushed the lead to 15 points on a 3-pointer by LaVine
with 2:45 remaining and held on the rest of the way.
Chicago entered the fourth quarter with a 101-85 lead.
The Wizards went on a 17-5 run midway through the third quarter
to slice the deficit to 88-75. Beal capped the run with a
3-pointer off an assist from Ish Smith.
A 10-0 run to start the third quarter gave Chicago its largest
lead of the night at 25 points. LaVine scored the first seven
points during the run with a pair of 3-pointers and a free
throw.
The Bulls jumped to a 73-58 halftime lead. It marked their
highest-scoring first half since April 14, 2008, when they led
81-71 against the Milwaukee Bucks at the break.
Washington opened the game with a 15-8 run, which included two
3-pointers and a layup from Beal. The Bulls closed the first
quarter with a 27-16 advantage to grab a four-point lead.
In the second quarter, the Bulls outscored the Wizards 38-27 to
extend their lead to 15 points.
