The Chicago Bulls edged the Washington Wizards 121–120 on November 22 at the United Center in a defensive standoff that came down to the final possession. Nikola Vučević led Chicago with 28 points while Corey White added 20, but the Bulls shot just 42 percent from the field and made 12 three-pointers. Washington's Corey Kispert and Carlton Whitmore each scored 20 points, and the Wizards compensated for their shooting efficiency (45.8 percent) with a 33-assist offense and 16 made threes, though 15 turnovers proved costly. The Wizards dominated the first half, outscoring Chicago 70–64 through two quarters, but the Bulls' 29-point fourth quarter sealed the comeback. Chicago's defensive rating of 114.5 nearly matched Washington's 113.9 offensive rating, underscoring how tightly contested the game remained. Washington's nine steals showcased perimeter pressure, yet Chicago's ball security (10 turnovers to Washington's 15) made the difference in a one-point thriller. The loss leaves the Wizards searching for consistency on the road.
