Cal’s NET is 340, a complete impossibility for a Power Five program with a pulse.
Cal lost to Eastern Washington tonight.
If Utah can’t beat Cal in Berkeley Dec. 29, fold the program. – 1:45 AM

The Wizards are having some issues making their free throws and it’s cost them a few games this season. Why it’s surprising and a bit strange when you look into the details: nbcsports.com/washington/wiz… – 12:09 AM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vučević delivered big play after big play down the stretch of Wednesday’s Bulls’ victory.
What’s the significance?
“I think we all just did our job,” LaVine said.
But it’s deeper than that.

Big time players step up in big time moments.

Zach LaVine, on any significance of Bulls’ Big 3 making all the big plays down stretch: “I think we all just did our job. There were a lot of things we could’ve did better in the game, especially the first three quarters. But we all came through at the end, made winning plays.” – 11:35 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
DeMar DeRozan was asked about exiting to the locker room briefly in the first half of tonight’s game.
He said, with a smile, he was “just checking on… the weather.”

Wasn’t pretty through three quarters — and at times in the fourth. But DeRozan (27), LaVine (25) and Vucevic (25) combined for 77 points as Bulls outlasted Wizards down stretch in game it felt they had to have.
Next: Mavs on Saturday – 10:26 PM

Caruso 9 assists, 4 steals
Vucevic had huge tip late to keep possession alive
Wizards scored 28 pts off 16 Bulls TOs – 10:26 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Quick pair of errors by the Bulls make things nervy in the final minute, but DeRozan ices the win with a pair of free throws.
Wizards dragged out the last few seconds with fouls, but Bulls prevail for their third clutch win of the season with a 115-111 finish. – 10:26 PM

It wasn’t pretty, but the Bulls closed this one well and snapped a three-game losing streak. Chicago’s star trio led the way in crunch time.

Andre Drummond legit having one of the worst games I’ve ever seen – 9:56 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Taj Gibson still loves you, Chicago. Just missed two free throws to win everyone at the game a free Portillo’s hot dog.
Hilariously, as the UC roared in delight, Daniel Gafford pulled down an offensive rebound on the second one and flushed a putback dunk on Andre Drummond. – 9:56 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Gibson misses a free throw. Gafford bounds in to slam down the put-back dunk. Pretty indicative of how things have been going the last few minutes for the Bulls. – 9:56 PM

Bulls have turned the ball over 16 times. – 9:54 PM
Stephen Noh @StephNoh
Listen to Caruso QB the defense.
-Before the inbound, gets LaVine’s attention 👍 to make sure he knows Barton is going to use Porzingis’ screen
-Recognizes the next action (Spain Leak). Shouts at the top of his lungs to call out Barton’s movement
-Gets the steal to top it off pic.twitter.com/Paqojk8wFu – 9:54 PM

#Bulls only had 4 turnovers in the 3rdQ, but they led to 9 Wizards points. Bulls could be in control, but trail Wash 81-80 after 3.
Vucevic 20 pts, Porzingis 19 – 9:52 PM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
We go to the 4th. Washington 81-80. Vucevic 20pts 8 reb.,. Porzingis 19pts 8 reb. Bulls 16 turnovers=26 Washington points. – 9:52 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Subtle thing but Donovan did quick, last-second sub of LaVine for that final offensive possession. And he’s 4-13.
That was LaVine’s complaint the night he got benched for closing time on his 1-14 night. He said at least put him in for final possession – 9:52 PM

Lot of careless basketball by Bulls tonight. 16 turnovers leading to 26 points so far.

Taj Gibson drains his 2nd three ball of the season in 7 attempts I called his first ever 3 in Dallas back in the day- I remain a huge @Taj Gibson fan..big time fan. – 9:45 PM
Mike Prada @MikePradaNBA
Jordan Goodwin just did the Trae Young-esque rise-up foul-drawing move on a trailing defender. The problem: the defender was Daniel Gafford, his teammate. And yet the Wizards still recovered and scored.
So that’s how this game is going. – 9:43 PM

Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Bulls lead the Bradley Beal-less Wizards 52-49 at halftime.
Bulls led by as many as 10 in the first quarter, but 9 turnovers in second let Wizards back into it.
Teams have combined for 23 turnovers and 6-27 3-point shooting. – 9:08 PM
Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
#Bulls are doing a better job offensively of keeping guys involved. At half, Vuc has 10, Williams 9, LaVine 8, DeRozan & White 6.
But their 11-point lead over Wizards has dropped to 52-49 – 9:08 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Wizards close the first half with only their second 3-pointer of the night.
Bulls still hold a 52-49 lead, but they fumbled a bit of their lead after coughing the ball up nine times in the second quarter.

Zach LaVine sinks a 3-pointer to send the Bulls up 12-10 before the Wizards take a timeout.
This feels like a must-win (or can’t-lose) game for both sides tonight. – 8:16 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Kristaps Porzingis is limping a bit after he jumped to contest a shot. Daniel Gafford is about to sub into the game. – 8:15 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Wizards have scored all 10 of their points in the paint. – 8:14 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Deni Avdija with good post defense on Patrick Williams after the switch, good drive and pass to a cutting Corey Kispert, and then another good drive and patiently finishes at the rim in the first 3 minutes in Chicago. – 8:14 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Michael Porter Jr. remains OUT for tomorrow against Thursday, though there is some progress toward his return.
The Nuggets play Thursday @ Portland, Saturday vs Utah, then there are three off days until next Wednesday vs Washington.
I’d expect MPJ back one of those days. – 8:00 PM

Javonte Green is out tonight (right knee, bone contusion).
However, Billy Donovan did confirm he will return to the starting lineup to replace Patrick Williams whenever he is healthy and cleared. – 6:29 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Bulls’ plan is for Javonte Green to return to starting lineup when he’s healthy, per Billy Donovan. He wants to get longer look at Green with first unit and Patrick Williams with reserves. – 6:26 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Billy Donovan said it’s likely Javonte Green will return to starting lineup whenever he returns from right knee soreness. Donovan had said the night he made the lineup change in San Francisco that he wanted to take extended look at Patrick Williams with second unit. – 6:23 PM
