DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vuevi combined for 59 points as the Bulls notched a much-needed win over the Wizards on Tuesday.
In all, the Bulls’ reserves tallied 28 points, but 20 of those came before halftime, at which point the team led 51-46. That more than doubles the 11 bench points they mustered all game in New York.Similar to the Knicks game, though, the second half began with an opponent run. The Wizards scored seven unanswered points in the first 1:39 of the third quarter, prompting a Donovan timeout, and eventually opened the period 10-2 to seize a 56-53 lead. 5.
Those points came mostly in familiar fashion, with eight coming by way of pull-up midrange jumpers. DeRozan also deflected a pass and hauled in a hit-ahead pass from White for a fastbreak dunk that first made it a double-digit game. In all, he shot 10-for-15 from the field in the second half after his sluggish start, a remarkable in-game turnaround that propelled his team to a win.The Bulls’ perimeter defense was far from perfect. The Wizards’ wings — from Rui Hachimura to Kentavious Caldwell Pope — and guards — Ish Smith — enjoyed clean driving lanes for much of the night, and despite an off-shooting night from 3-point range , Washington went 60.4 percent inside the arc to stay in the game until the stretch run.
Donovan has repeatedly touted patience with Williams as the 20-year-old finds his timing following a five-month absence, but he also offered a blueprint for Williams to up his minutes.
