Chicago Bulls Down Wizards, 68-59

It was no joke Sunday, but the Washington Wizards didn’t find it too funny. That’s because it was the Bulls with an end to end, dominating 113-94 April 1 victory.

The Bulls jumped all over the Wizards early with accurate shooting and adept passing, leading by 15 points late in the first quarter, by a rousing 68-59 at halftime and then even with their irregulars against the Wizards, the Bulls added on in the fourth quarter with a 17-point lead with three minutes left.

The Bulls raised their record to 26-51 with their second straight win, the first winning streak for the Bulls in 10 weeks. Washington fell to 42-35.

The Bulls were led by Lauri Markkanen with 23 points. Bobby Portis had 18 points, Sean Kilpatrick had 14 points, Justin Holiday had 12 points, Jerian Grant had 11 and David Nwaba had 10. The Bulls made 18 of 34 threes and had 30 assists. The Bulls shot 52.4 percent overall and had a 57-35 edge in bench points.

Heat Fines Whiteside

The Miami Heat has fined center Hassan Whiteside an undisclosed amount for "comments detrimental to the team." Whiteside went on an expletive-laden tirade after Miami's overtime loss to the Nets on Saturday in which he complained about his lack of playing time.
