The Numbers Crunch: Wizards lose to Bulls in home finale

Both teams were missing an array of regulars due to injury, illness, or indifference, but the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards played an entertaining and hard-fought game that the Bulls ultimately won.

The Wizards got to check off a few items on their late season wish list. Young guys made plays on the offensive end, and at least one major lineup experiment (Deni Avdija in a guard role) looked kinda interesting, even applying caveats about the quality of opposition.

Defense wasn’t exactly optional — both teams seemed to give solid effort at that end — but the lack of cohesiveness and the abundance of inexperienced youngsters showed in defensive execution.
