WASHINGTON (AP) --- Leonard Miller scored a career-high 26 points and matched
his career best with 11 rebounds as the Chicago Bulls eased to a 119-108
victory over the Washington Wizards on Thursday night to sweep a two-game set.
Tre Jones scored 31 points and Collin Sexton added 27 for the Bulls, who won
129-98 at Washington on Tuesday night to snap a seven-game skid.
Miller, Jones and Sexton combined to shoot 65.3% (32 of 49) as Chicago (31-49)
pulled even with Milwaukee for 11th place in the Eastern Conference and the
best record among teams eliminated from postseason contention.
Bulls center Guerschon Yabusele departed early in the third quarter with a
sprained left shoulder.
Will Riley scored 23 points to lead Washington, which had 10 players sidelined
by injuries.
Julian Reese added 16 points and 15 rebounds for the NBA-worst Wizards, who
have lost 24 of 25 to sink to 17-63 with two games remaining.
Chicago took control by outscoring Washington 16-4 to close the third quarter.
Jones scored the last six points of that stretch, including consecutive layups
in the final minute to make it 87-74.
