The Washington Wizards faced a significant defeat against the Chicago Bulls, ending the game with a score of 119-89 and falling to a season record of 17-64. Despite an aggressive start from Justin Champagnie, who scored 22 points and 14 rebounds, the Wizards struggled throughout the game, notably failing to reach the free-throw line in the first half. The Bulls capitalized on Washington's weaknesses, with Bub Carrington contributing significantly in the third quarter, leading to a comfortable win that helped secure their playoff position.
With Friday's loss, Washington secured a bottom-two record, meaning the worst they can pick come June's NBA Draft is No. 6.
Justin Champagnie opened the first frame the same way he'd opened the previous three contests: aggressive. The 23-year-old forward scored nine points in the opening frame.
Chicago led 58-43 at halftime, as the Wizards failed to get to the free-throw line even once in the first 24 minutes of play.
Bub Carrington got going in the third quarter, scoring 11 of his 18 points while finding his teammates for open looks.
