John Wall's 26 - point, 14 - assist double - double helped overcome a feisty and short - handed Bulls squad that was without Jimmy Butler (illness) and Dwyane Wade (rest). His 16 - foot basket with five seconds remaining snapped a 99 - 99 deadlock and provided the home team with the final margin of victory. Bradley Beal and Markieff Morris each went for 19 points, and Otto Porter, Jr. registered 11. Marcin Gortat posted a 10 - point, 12 - rebound double - double. Jason Smith led the second unit with seven points, six rebounds and three blocks. Denzel Valentine's 19 points in 30 minutes off the bench led the Bulls. Robin Lopez and Michael Carter-Williams followed with matching 14 - point efforts, while Bobby Portis offered 13 points. Rajon Rondo totaled 12 points, six assists, four rebounds and three steals in 27 minutes, his most extensive game action in some time.
