WASHINGTON — Bulls forward Zach LaVine offered blunt advice to teammates as they rallied against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.
“It just seemed like a real ugly game,” LaVine said. “I just kept telling them, ‘Hey, man it’s an ugly game, might as well get ugly with them.’”
It worked.
Wendell Carter Jr. made a layup with 9.1 seconds left in overtime, completing the Bulls’ comeback from an 18-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Wizards 110-109.
LaVine capped a 21-3 Bulls run with three free throws that tied the game at 96 with 5.
