Bulls head home for five straight @UnitedCenter Thursday against LAC. Congrats to @DeMar DeRozan passed John Stockton for 50th on the all time scoring list. Stockton is in the HOF and one day DeMar will join him as well. @Chicago Bulls – 10:23 PM Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
WARNING: If you are a Vooch hater DO NOT read this story. It talks about how he saved this team’s ass tonight, while the rest of the roster was sleep walking for three quarters. If you respect what the big man does then …

#Pacers injury report: Goga Bitadze (right foot), Malcolm Brodgon (rest), Isaiah Jackson (headache) and Duane Washington Jr. (right hip) are questionable against the #Nuggets.
Chris Duarte (left big toe), T.J. McConnell, Ricky Rubio, Myles Turner and T.J. Warren are OUT. – 10:13 PM David Hardisty @clutchfans
BKN got an expected win over DET tonight but Pistons made that really close.
6 games left for the Nets. The pick is still #16. BKN plays MIL next.
Guessing: I think TOR will clear but CHI and CLE are concerns. I would say BKN at 7 and CLE at 8 is very possible. – 10:09 PM Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Davis Bertans, post-trade playoff glow up: “In Washington, it was always fighting for the last position, which was also fun in some way, but it’s definitely feeling better when you’re fighting for home-court advantage or maybe even going higher than that.” – 10:06 PM Wayne Cole @waynec0le
Deni Avdija approach to the final 7 games he’s gonna go out fighting even if it’s not a chance. That’s how he was raised” – 10:02 PM Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry
DeMar DeRozan on Nikola Vučević’s fast start tonight at Washington: “We’re just trying to do a better job playing through Vooch…Once he gets it going, it makes everybody else’s job easier.” pic.twitter.com/x2kmTEGoWu – 10:02 PM Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
Not a great night for #Cavs in terms of scoreboard watching. Brooklyn won, staying in 8th spot and remaining Cleveland’s potential play-in opponent. Chicago won, extending its lead to a game and a half (plus a tiebreaker) with the Cavs. – 10:00 PM Wayne Cole @waynec0le
Deni Avdija “Real men wear pink” loves the tribute, colors.
He jokes he’s ashamed he didn’t get to model the jerseys. – 10:00 PM Chris Biderman @TheWarriorsWire

Deni Avdija “I’m not gonna stop guys all the time…, but I’m taking the challenge” alludes to guarding good NBA players and Hall of Famers. – 9:58 PM Wayne Cole @waynec0le
Deni Avdija says the wizards need to keep their focus (closing 4th quarters) , “little details” he also said they did some good things tonight. – 9:55 PM Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls

Bulls now lined up to face Philly in the first round … and Embiid … who they have never beaten … like never, ever … – 9:40 PM Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls
“I feel a switch when the 4th quarter starts. It becomes a different game for me. I try to approach it mentally – you know everything will pick up and I do the opposite. I try to slow down.” – @DeMar DeRozan pic.twitter.com/bEpTqOYdtC – 9:37 PM Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls

The Bulls are great bullying bum teams … with this soon-to-be-win they will move to 22-10 against teams below .500. It’s the big sharks they can’t swim with. – 9:02 PM Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry

Really excited about the progress Rui Hachimura has shown this season. Counting stats are down, but that’s a minutes/role thing. He’s improved almost every facet of his game and looks like a different player. That’s big for Washington. – 8:47 PM Washington Wizards @WashWizards
12 minutes to complete this comeback.
Hachimura: 19 PTS, 7-9 FG, 2-3 3P

Bulls can’t get any breathing room in D.C. 75-73 at the end of the third.
Ish Smith cooking in the last minutes of the quarter to join the recent list of opposing bench players to befuddle the Bulls. – 8:45 PM Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
The Wizards trail the Bulls 75-73 at the end of the third quarter. Chicago’s Nikola Vucevic leads all scorers with 27 points on 12-of-19 shooting. Washington’s Rui Hachimura has a team-high 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting. – 8:44 PM Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Coby White’s shooting issues and Patrick Williams’ minutes problem. All in one click.

Those last two possessions by Deni Avdija showed off some untapped playmaking…
Loving how he kept the ball on a string while navigating inside to find KCP for 3. Next possession, behind the back in transition to Rui. – 8:38 PM Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls
DeMar with the vet moves!
@NBCSChicago | @DeMar DeRozan pic.twitter.com/6lCWexIhb4 – 8:38 PM Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Deni Avdija behind the back in transition to a Rui Hachimura reverse layup is a pretty sight – 8:37 PM Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Zach LaVine gets his first basket with a little over four minutes left in the third quarter.
But it’s an impactful basket, a vision dunk off an excellent feed by Vooch to send the Bulls up 69-62. – 8:37 PM Washington Wizards @WashWizards
The hair, the jam, it all works together 🙌

On that 50/50 ball near Zach, LaVine went 10/90 and didn’t get it. – 8:29 PM Wayne Cole @waynec0le
I hope Wizards fans are seeing the steadily improvement of Corey Kispert’s game and confidence. – 8:27 PM Washington Wizards @WashWizards

Bulls allow a 7-0 run to start the second half before Billy Donovan calls for a time out – 8:22 PM Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry
Similar to the Knicks last night, the Wizards start the second half on a quick 7-0 run to take a 53-51 lead. Billy Donovan calls timeout 100 seconds into the third quarter. – 8:20 PM KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Wizards open 2nd half with 7-0 run. Timeout, Donovan. – 8:20 PM Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Didn’t know Corey Kispert had that in him – 8:20 PM Washington Wizards @WashWizards

Patrick Williams upping his aggression in a strong finish through contact. – 7:37 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness

I did not expect to see Ish Smith stuff the mess out of DeMar DeRozan’s mid-range jumper tonight
But that’s why you play the game – 7:34 PM Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Billy Donovan made clear pregame Patrick Williams can earn more minutes by playing with more force. After an awkward start to his first-quarter stint, he pried an offensive rebound from a smaller Wizards defender, and just had a strong drive and and-1 finish – 7:34 PM Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS

Nikola Vucevic has 15 points in the first nine minutes of this one. 12 in the paint, where the Wizards have no answer for him, and a 3-pointer that rimmed in – 7:27 PM KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Vucevic already into double figures in 1st quarter. This has happened before and Bulls sometimes forget him as game progresses. It’s not even that he always needs to get shots but at least touches to serve as connecting piece. He’s an adept passer. – 7:26 PM Washington Wizards @WashWizards

Opening possession for the Bulls previews what should be a very fun matchup between Vučević vs. Porziņģis.
Vooch gets blocked, then digs in to get the basket on his second attempt at the hook. That will be a battle down low for both players tonight. – 7:14 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski

Billy Donovan won’t just be giving minutes to Patrick Williams. Thinks young players have to earn minutes. Williams has not done that with his play so far. – 5:35 PM Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Zach LaVine is available vs. Wizards, Billy Donovan says. Had been questionable. Seems like that’s status quo on back to backs as he manages knee – 5:33 PM KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Zach LaVine is in vs. Wizards, per Billy Donovan. – 5:32 PM Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
Wes Unseld jr said ti’s not surprise for him Anthony Gill’s presence on the floor and he added Gill put extra hours in after practise. Unseld jr praised his professionalism in the team. #DCAboveAll – 5:32 PM Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Everyone can take a deep breath – Zach LaVine and his ornery left knee WILL play tonight in DC. – 5:31 PM Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Kyle Kuzma, who will not play tonight against Chicago due to right-knee tendinitis, is not expected to play Wednesday night against Orlando, Wes Unseld Jr. said. – 5:28 PM Ava Wallace @avarwallace
There’s a good chance that Kyle Kuzma won’t be available tomorrow against Orlando, as well. He’s out tonight vs. the Bulls with knee tendinitis. – 5:28 PM Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Wes Unseld Jr. says he does not expect Kyle Kuzma to play tomorrow. It would be his 7th straight game missed due to right knee tendinitis. – 5:27 PM Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
The Wizards’ starters tonight against the Bulls: Tomas Satoransky, Corey Kispert, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Rui Hachimura and Kristaps Porzingis. – 5:26 PM Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96

Kyle Kuzma looks like he is in his element here but when these cherry blossom jerseys go on sale in November, they need to hook him up with Cam’ron’s pink fur pic.twitter.com/q0WHj4gvzR – 4:39 PM Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
From books to hours of film, Patrick Williams told me he spent recovery sharpening his mentality.
But after taking zero shots in last night’s loss, the Bulls need that intensity to translate to the court.
“That’s on me,” Williams said. “I can be better.” chicagotribune.com/sports/bulls/c… – 4:24 PM Khobi Price @khobi_price
Wendell Carter Jr.’s listed as out for tomorrow vs. the Wizards because of his sprained left wrist.
Will be Carter’s third absence in four games because of the injury. – 4:19 PM Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops

Six years ago today, the Warriors won their 54th consecutive regular-season home game (36-straight to begin 2015-16, 18-straight to end 2014-15), setting the NBA record for most consecutive regular-season home wins, with a 102-94 victory over the Wizards. pic.twitter.com/K55tKOllNn – 4:17 PM Washington Wizards @WashWizards
