Young’s scoring and playmaking led Washington, while George paired scoring with nine boards. Champagnie’s 14 rebounds gave the Wizards another source of possessions. For Chicago, Wilson supplied the game’s biggest individual scoring line and his first NBA double-double, but the Bulls made only 12 of 43 three-point attempts. That shooting split helps explain why a 30-point performance did not turn into a home win. The complete NBA box score has the full player-by-player totals.
Game highlights: the third quarter swung the result
Chicago carried a narrow lead into halftime
The Bulls built an advantage of as many as 10 points in the first half and went into the break up 62–57. Wilson’s transition dunk helped make it 60–50 late in the second quarter. Tre Johnson’s three-pointer in the closing seconds cut the margin before halftime, leaving Washington close enough to respond.
Washington took control after the break
The Wizards scored 40 points in the third and held Chicago to 20. Young contributed seven points and five assists in the period, including a lob to Alex Sarr for a dunk that put Washington ahead 97–80 with 34 seconds left in the quarter. The change was visible in both the scoreboard and the playmaking: Washington was creating quick chances while keeping the Bulls from matching its scoring pace.
The Bulls made the finish close
Chicago answered with 38 points in the fourth and mounted a late rally. A Matas Buzelis baseline three brought the Bulls within three with 23.3 seconds remaining. Washington converted its late free throws to protect the lead and finish the 124–120 win. The official NBA play-by-play is the best place to follow the final possessions in order.
