Last night was a true test of the Bulls depth. It was the 3rd game of a back-to-back-to-back set. Rose, Hamilton and Watson had to sit out du to injury. So John Lucas III got his first NBA start. If the Wizards thought it was going to be an easy win, they were dead wrong. Bulls won 78-64.Lucas nearly triple-doubled with 25 pts, 8 asts and 8 rebs... all career highs. Asik pulled down 14 rebs and had 5 blks. In a way, that's a double-double if you look at a block as being equivalent to 2 points each. Korver continued to be hot from 3 and added 14 pts.
The game was actually within the Wizards' reach until they missed all their shots in the last 2 minutes of the 4th, causing the blowout look of the final score.
Later that night, the Clippers beat the Heat in overtime, putting Chicago ahead of the East in the loss column as well (they were already there in the win column).
