Miller Shines Bright

Leonard Miller scored a career-high 26 points and matched his personal best with 11 rebounds. His energy and efficiency set the tone for the Bulls, who eased to a 119-108 victory. Miller’s breakout night was the highlight of a team effort that kept Chicago rolling.

Chicago Bulls Forward Leonard Miller with a Career High of 26 points.

Jones and Sexton Stay Hot

Tre Jones poured in 31 points, while Collin Sexton added 27. Together with Miller, the trio combined to shoot an impressive 65.3% from the field (32 of 49). Their scoring punch propelled Chicago (31-49) to sweep the two-game set against Washington, following Tuesday’s 129-98 blowout win.

Wizards Struggle Again

Washington, already plagued by injuries with 10 players sidelined, leaned on Will Riley’s 23 points. Julian Reese contributed 16 points and 15 rebounds, but the Wizards dropped their 24th loss in 25 games, sinking to 17-63—the worst record in the NBA.

Key Stretch in the Third

Chicago seized control late in the third quarter, outscoring Washington 16-4. Jones capped the run with back-to-back layups in the final minute, pushing the lead to 87-74. From there, the Bulls never looked back.

What’s Next

The Bulls will host Orlando on Friday, while the Wizards face Miami. Though both teams are out of playoff contention, Chicago now shares the best record among eliminated squads, pulling even with Milwaukee for 11th in the East.

Miller’s career night was more than just numbers—it was a glimpse of what the Bulls hope to build on moving forward.
