The Chicago Bulls dominated the Washington Wizards 129–98 on April 7 at Capital One Arena, a 31-point victory that fell well short of the 249.5 Vegas total. R. Dillingham led Chicago with 26 points, while T. Jones added 20 as the Bulls shot 48.9 percent from the field and buried 15 three-pointers. Washington's B. Coulibaly paced the Wizards with 19 points and J. Reese contributed 17, but the hosts managed just 43 percent shooting and 11 made threes. The Bulls' defensive suffocation was evident in their 90.5 defensive rating and 14 steals, forcing Washington into 21 turnovers while committing only 13 themselves. Chicago's balanced attack produced 35 assists and 52 rebounds, establishing early control with a 38-point first quarter that set the tone throughout. Washington's fourth-quarter surge to 35 points came too late to threaten the outcome. The Bulls' dominant road performance underscores their playoff positioning, while the Wizards' defensive vulnerabilities remain a concern as the season progresses.
