DeMar DeRozan had 32 points to lead all scorers, but the Bulls lost to the Wizards tonight.
Instead, it was Washington that improved to 2-0. Kyle Kuzma scored 26 points and Beal added 19.
The Wizards won 10 of their first 13 games under new coach Wes Unseld Jr. last season, but they ended up missing the playoffs after Beal's season ended early because of wrist issues. He decided to return to Washington on a new five-year max contract. The Bulls are still trying to manage LaVine's left knee, which needed surgery in May. This was the first game of a back-to-back for Chicago, and the All-Star guard is expected to make his season debut in the back half against Cleveland.
Washington led 56-50 at halftime, and then Kuzma started the third quarter with a couple quick 3s. Beal hustled back to block a layup attempt by Ayo Dosunmu, and that defensive play led to a 3-pointer by Deni Avdija that made it 65-50.Beal had eight assists, increasing his career total to 2,715. He passed Rod Strickland for third in franchise history.Bulls: In addition to LaVine, Chicago was without Lonzo Ball . ...
