After Action Report

In Washington, the Bulls ran roughshod over the Wizards 126-98. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
