Julian Phillips posted career-highs in scoring and rebounding, and Chicago cruised past the Washington Wizards 119-89 in the Bulls’ regular-season home finale on Friday.<\/section>\n
Phillips’ 23 points led all scorers, pacing five Bulls scorers with at least 12 points. Among them was Nikola Vucevic, who flirted with a triple-double at 15 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. Phillips finished with nine rebounds.<\/section>\n
Chicago (38-43) trailed by a point early in the second quarter before going on a 20-4 run. Six different Bulls scored in the pivotal stretch, which gave Chicago the lead for good.<\/section>\n
The Bulls doubled a 15-point halftime lead late in the third quarter. Chicago’s advantage ballooned to as many as 33 points in the fourth.<\/section>\n
The Bulls held Washington (17-64) to just 35-of-91 (38.5 percent) shooting from the floor, including 10 of 41 from 3-point range, while forcing 18 turnovers.<\/section>\n
Chicago converted the turnovers into 23 points and outscored the Wizards on fast-break opportunities, 21-6.<\/section>\n

 <\/p>\n

Matas Buzelis scored 20 points for the Bulls. His 3-of-6 shooting from 3-point range matched Philips for the team lead.<\/section>\n
Coby White scored 16 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished four assists. Talen Horton-Tucker scored 12 points off the bench, leading Chicago to a 38-23 advantage in reserve points.<\/section>\n
Bulls backups Zach Collins and Jevon Carter each chipped in eight points as Chicago won its fifth in the last six games.<\/section>\n
Justin Champagnie finished with 22 points and a game-high 14 rebounds to lead Washington. Bub Carrington added an 18-point, 11-assist double-double.<\/section>\n
Rookie Alex Sarr, who came into Friday’s contest having scored in double figures in five straight games, finished with seven points on 3-of-15 shooting.<\/section>\n
Chicago clinched the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference with the win, meaning the Bulls will host No. 10 Miami in a play-in game.<\/section>\n
