In a strong display of talent, Jordan Poole contributed 30 points, leading the Washington Wizards to a 125-107 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. The game showcased Poole’s impressive form since joining the Wizards from Golden State for the 2023-24 season. He hit six shots from beyond the arc, marking his fifth consecutive game with over 25 points—a personal best milestone in his career.

Joining in the offensive effort, rookie Alex Sarr recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. He was part of an impressive lineup that featured seven players scoring in double figures, which allowed the Wizards, currently at the bottom of the league standings, to secure their largest win of the season.

On the opposing side, Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 32 points after missing their previous game due to toe soreness. Coby White contributed 17 points while Nikola Vucevic added a double-double of 12 points and 13 rebounds. However, the Bulls struggled with turnovers, committing 20 throughout the game and were unable to maintain a lead during the final three quarters.

The Bulls faced a missed opportunity to close the gap to just two games from .500 after their record fell to 15-19. They are set to play the majority of their upcoming games at home, with seven out of the next eight matches scheduled at their arena.

For the Wizards, despite remaining at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a record of 6-25, they have shown competitive spirit lately, especially at home where their record is now 4-6 since December began.

A pivotal moment in the game for Washington came early in the fourth quarter when they launched a decisive 7-0 run that expanded their lead to 20 points, the largest margin of the night. Rookie Kyshawn George kickstarted the run with his only three-pointer of the game and capped it off with a steal and subsequent dunk to give the Wizards a 104-84 advantage.

Statistically, the Bulls faced difficulties from beyond the arc, finishing the night with a mere 29.8% shooting percentage (14 of 47) from three-point territory, a stark contrast to their average of 37.2% before this matchup.

Looking ahead, the Wizards are set to visit New Orleans on Friday, while the Bulls will host the New York Knicks on Saturday.
