The Chicago Bulls defeated the Washington Wizards, 126-117, at United Center on Sunday night.

The Bulls (19-38) aren't exactly known for high-powered offense this season, especially given how decimated by injury their roster currently is. However, Chicago played an ultra-efficient first half, jumping out to a 15-point advantage over the Wizards (20-35). Washington was far from done, with Bradley Beal, who scored a career-high 53 points, leading the second-half charge. After making a modest one-point dent in their deficit during the third, the visitors would get to within seven points on multiple occasions in the final period before succumbing.

Beal complemented his aforementioned scoring tally with five rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block. Davis Bertans followed with 22 points, eight boards, four assists and one steal. Rui Hachimura and Ish Smith generated matching 10-point tallies while recording eight rebounds and five assists, respectively.

Coby White led the Bulls with 33 points, supplementing them with six boards, two assists, two steals and one block. Zach LaVine followed with 32 points, supplementing them with four rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block. Thaddeus Young delivered 25 points, six boards, two assists and three steals. Tomas Satoransky generated a 15-point, 13-assist double-double that also included three rebounds and four steals.

The Wizards head back home to face the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night, while the Bulls remain home and tangle with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night.
