Wizards' Struggles


On the other side, Washington struggled to find consistency throughout the game despite some early efforts that kept them competitive in parts of it. The Wizards managed only a field goal percentage of 38 percent and were unable to match Chicago’s intensity on both ends of the court.


Washington’s bench provided some support with players contributing a total of 23 points; however, it wasn't enough against Chicago’s cohesive team performance. The visitors faced difficulties maintaining possession as they committed a total of eighteen turnovers compared to thirteen by Chicago.
