The Bulls visit our Nation's Capital to meet the Washington Wizards at Capital One Center for the first time this season. The teams will get together on three more occasions, the next in Chicago on January 15, before squaring off twice more over a four-game span in February.
The Bulls come into tonight's contest looking to get back on track after suffering another late game collapse in which they blew a 26-point first-half lead to fall on the road, 109-106, to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday.
After arguably playing their best stretch of basketball this season by upsetting the LA Clippers at the United Center on Saturday, and then putting 67 points on the board to take a commanding 19-point lead at halftime in OKC, Chicago suddenly stopped moving the ball and trusting one another, posting more turnovers than assists in the second half, and allowing the Thunder to outscore them 60-38 over the last 24 minutes to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
