Leonard Miller announced his arrival in a major way Thursday night, erupting for a career-high 26 points and 11 rebounds to power the Chicago Bulls to a 119-108 road win over the Washington Wizards. The victory completed a convincing two-game sweep in the nation's capital, signaling a strong finish for the Bulls after a tough stretch.

Miller wasn't alone in the offensive explosion. Tre Jones led all scorers with a blistering 31 points, while Collin Sexton chipped in 27. The trio was remarkably efficient, combining to hit 65.3% of their shots (32-of-49). This collective firepower helped Chicago snap a seven-game losing streak on Tuesday and build momentum with this follow-up performance.

The Bulls seized control of the game with a decisive 16-4 run to close the third quarter, capped by six straight points from Jones to give Chicago a commanding 87-74 lead heading into the final frame. They never looked back.

While the Bulls celebrated a breakout night from their young forward, they did see center Guerschon Yabusele exit early in the third quarter with a sprained left shoulder, a situation to monitor as the season concludes.

For the injury-ravaged Wizards, who dressed only ten players, Will Riley provided a bright spot with 23 points. Julian Reese posted a strong double-double with 16 points and 15 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to prevent Washington's 24th loss in 25 games.

With the win, Chicago (31-49) pulled even with Milwaukee for 11th in the Eastern Conference, securing the best record among teams already eliminated from playoff contention—a small but meaningful consolation as they play out the final games of their schedule.
