Poole — who joined Washington from Golden State
prior to the 2023-24 season — made six 3-pointers and topped 25
points for a fifth straight game, the first such stretch of his
career.
Rookie Alex Sarr added 11 points and 10 rebounds as one of seven
players in double figures to help the last-place Wizards to
their largest win of the season.
Zach LaVine scored 32 points for the Bulls after he sat out
Monday's win in Charlotte with toe soreness. Coby White added 17
points, and Nikola Vucevic had 12 points and 13 rebounds for
Chicago, which committed 20 turnovers and trailed throughout the
final three quarters.
Takeaways
Bulls: They missed a crucial opportunity to pull within two
games of .500 for just the second time since losing to Cleveland
on Nov. 15. But after falling to 15-19, Chicago plays seven of
its next eight at home.
Wizards: They're still last in the Eastern Conference at 6-25
but have been playing far more competitive basketball. That's
particularly true at home, where Washington is 4-6 since the
start of December.
Key moment
Washington effectively sealed the outcome with a 7-0 run early
in the fourth to build a 20-point lead, their biggest of the
night. Rookie Kyshawn George hit his lone 3-pointer of the night
to open the spurt, then completed it with a steal and dunk that
made it 104-84.
Key stat
The Bulls finished 29.8% (14 of 47) from 3-point range, well
below their 37.2% average entering Wednesday.

Wizards visit New Orleans on Friday and Bulls host New York on
Saturday.
