Washington Wizards defeat Chicago Bulls 124-120
The Washington Wizards secured their second win of the season with a 124-120 road victory against the Chicago Bulls at the United Center. Trae Young led Washington with 25 points and nine assists, while Kyshawn George contributed 22 points, nine rebounds, and four blocks.
Despite an early 10-point lead by Chicago, the Wizards took control during a decisive third quarter, outscoring the Bulls 40-20. Chicago's rookie Caleb Wilson recorded 30 points and 14 rebounds in his home opener, but the Bulls struggled with perimeter shooting, making only 12 of 43 three-point attempts.
Washington's victory was aided by a strong defensive effort in the second half, though they faced challenges with transition defense early in the game. The Wizards move to a 2-1 record, while the Bulls remain at home for their next matchup in Boston.
