At the end of a close game, the Washington Wizards surrendered tonight (between Wednesday and Thursday) to the Chicago Bulls 115:111.
Without the injured Bradley Beal, and after several games in which he showed poor ability in the offensive part, Danny Avdia recorded a good game personally and finished with 10 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 steals.
The Israeli forward played a total of 39 minutes (the most on the team) and provided good moments on defense as well, when he guarded DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, and also led the ball and managed the Wizards' attacks.

After the game was very close throughout, Chicago star DeMar DeRozan stepped up in money time, and a 27-point night gave the Bulls the victory in the final quarter.
Zach Lavigne and Nikola Vuchovich also finished with 25 points each.
For Washington, apart from Avdia, Kristaps Porzingis had a very good night and finished with 28 points, Kuzma added 21 and Monte Morris 17. Following the loss, Washington fell to a 14:11 record (outside the top-10 in the East).
The Chicago Bulls have a record of 14:10 and are getting very close to the Wizards in the Eastern standings, despite an unimpressive start to the season.
