Chicago secure the victory.
The Bulls entered the fourth quarter with an 85-80 lead. Chicago

as 11 points before the Wizards regrouped.
Chicago scored the first 11 points of the second half to pull
ahead 66-60. LaVine knocked down a 3-pointer to finish the run
before the Wizards finally ended a 4:04 scoring drought with a
jump shot by Beal.
Washington established a 60-55 lead at the half. Beal had a
game-high 17 points at the break while making 5 of 6 shots from
the field, including both of his attempts from beyond the arc.
The Wizards relied on a 7-0 run to pull ahead early in the
second quarter. McRae started the sequence with a driving layup,
and Anzejs Pasecniks capped the run with another layup off an
assist by Bertans.
The Bulls responded with their own 7-0 run to continue a
back-and-forth second quarter. Coby White scored six of
Chicago's seven points during the run with a free throw, a layup
and a 3-pointer.
Chicago rookie center Daniel Gafford dislocated his right thumb
in the first quarter. The team announced later in the game that
X-rays were negative and the initial prognosis was that Gafford
would miss two to four weeks.
