Bucks
Milwaukee
False
With the Wizards surging and the Bulls struggling , this result is far from surprising . The shooting was a glaring difference in this matchup , as Washington shot over 52 percent from the field and the Bulls hitting just 40 percent of their shots . The fastbreak points was huge as well , with the Wizards doubling up the Bulls , 32 - 16 . John Wall carried the load for Washington , as he tallied 23 points , six rebounds , nine assists and three steals in the win . Bradley Beal finished with 21 points and five assists . Marcin Gortat recorded another double - double , totaling 14 points and 11 boards . Jimmy Butler tried to keep the Bulls hanging around , as he led the team with 20 points , 11 rebounds and five assists . Taj Gibson was Chicago 's most efficient player , as he accrued 17 points , 11 rebounds and three blocks . Butler , Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade combined to shoot 14 - of - 50 from the field in their defeat . The Washington Wizards defeated the host Chicago Bulls , 107 - 97 , at United Center on Wednesday . These are two teams going in opposite directions and this result shows just which way . This game was close throughout though , as there were 11 ties and 17 lead changes in total , with neither team leading by more than 13 points . The fourth quarter is when things really separated , with Washington winning that quarter , 30 - 20 . The shooting was the glaring difference , as the Wizards shot 52 percent from the field , while the Bulls barely cracked 40 percent . In addition , Chicago went just 3 - of - 18 from three - point range and 18 - of - 25 from the free - throw line . Fastbreak points was the only other big differential , with Washington doubling up Chicago , 32 - 16 in that category . Washington ( 13 - 15 ) have now won six of their last eight games and road wins against a tough team like the Bulls shows their recent progression . John Wall was once again the catalyst , as he tallied 23 points , six rebounds , nine assists and three steals . Bradley Beal was n't far behind , as he accrued 21 points , five assists and two steals . Marcin Gortat recorded a double - double , totaling 14 points and 11 rebounds . Otto Porter played just 12 minutes , as he left with back spasms in the second quarter . The Wizards will look to keep rolling on Friday in a road matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks . Chicago ( 14 - 14 ) has now lost seven of their last 10 games and home losses against teams like the Wizards simply wo n't get it done . Jimmy Butler did all he could for the Bulls , as he led the team with 20 points , 11 rebounds and five assists . Taj Gibson also played well , amassing 17 points , 11 rebounds and three blocks in the defeat . Rajon Rondo did provide six rebounds and 10 assists , but shot just 1 - of - 10 from the field to score three points . Dwyane Wade also shot poorly , but accumulated 19 points , three rebounds and three assists . Butler , Rondo and Wade combined to shoot 14 - of - 50 in the loss . The Bulls will look to get out of this slump on Friday in a road matchup against the Charlotte Hornets .
