With few exceptions (NO & SAC) the Mavs have been great in not only taking out lower rung teams, but stomping on them. Good teams do that. Good teams also have to be able to beat other good teams especially at home. They’ve done that vs DEN & GS. Another great test on Sun vs CHI – 11:49 PM

Ava Wallace @avarwallace
Spencer Dinwiddie, asked if he picked up anything watching the Wizards while in protocols, says he’s all for point guard Beal if that’s what’s asked. Reiterates he’s here to be a complementary piece. – 11:28 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Bulls win 9th straight, but coach Billy Donovan wants corrections made rather than focusing on the streak. … Just like a coach.
Read it:

Jamal Collier @JamalCollier
Bulls rookie Ayo Dosunmu said Bradley Beal gave him some advice during the game on driving to the basket after getting called for two travels.
Ayo then used the move on the next play to score and Beal told him: “I didn’t say use it on me, I said for the future.” – 11:15 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Ayo Dosunmu says Bradley Beal gave him some advice about how to drive after he was called for two travels. He used that advice on the next play and scored on Beal.
When Beal lined up out of bounds, he teased Ayo: “I didn’t say do it on *me*.” – 11:11 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Ayo Dosunmu said Bradley Beal gave him some advice during the game about how to make this one move. Dosunmu then used the move and said Beal told him, “I didn’t say use it on me. I said use it in the future.”

Coach Wes Unseld Jr. after the Wizards lost 130-122 tonight to the Bulls: “… I just didn’t think our effort and focus was there tonight on the defensive side of the ball. I addressed it after the game. Our care factor has to be better. It just has to.” – 10:50 PM

There’s no need to over-analyze this Wizards 130-122 loss. It comes down to 3-point shooting. Chicago went 15 for 33 from beyond the arc. Washington went 7 for 24. Washington made 51 percent of its shots overall, but it’s tough to keep up with that 3-point deficit. – 10:22 PM

Lastly, I asked Keifer Sykes (@Keifer Sykes), who grew up on the South Side of Chicago but attended Marshall on the West Side, how his hometown molded him.

Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Aaron Holiday will be available to play tonight, giving Washington its full set of three point guards it had to start the season. Wes Unseld Jr. said the team hopes Montrezl Harrell and Rui Hachimura will join the team Saturday in Orlando before Sunday’s game there. – 6:52 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Davis Bertans will not play tonight in Chicago, Wes Unseld Jr. said. The injury is a mid-foot sprain, and the hope is that he’ll be available to play on Sunday in Orlando. – 6:49 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Wes Unseld Jr. said Davis Bertans is dealing with a good bit of discomfort from the mid foot sprain he suffered the other night. But it’s not considered serious and he’s hopeful Bertans will play on Sunday at Orlando. – 6:46 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Wizards starters tonight in Chicago: Spencer Dinwiddie, Bradley Beal, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Kyle Kuzma and Daniel Gafford. – 6:46 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Bulls are last in 3PA/g, 1st in 3P%. Been a theme all season
Billy Donovan said pregame he’d like 3PAs to rise organically, but stressed that not “all 3s are created equally”
The root, he said, is for Bulls to get downhill more, force help, spray out and generate more good 3PAs – 6:41 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Wes Unseld Jr. says there is a chance Rui Hachimura plays on Sunday at Orlando, but still TBD
He has been re-ramping up since exiting protocols on Wednesday – 6:36 PM

If Bulls beat Wizards, it’s franchise’s first 9-game win streak since April 13, 2011.
That’s night Kyle Korver scored 19 points to cap 62-20 regular season with victory over NJ Nets.
That team advanced to the ECF. (And the win streak stretched to 10 with next season’s opener.) – 5:52 PM

Coach Unseld on @Bradley Beal:
“We’ve all seen his growth over the last 10 years. He’s a leader…He’s a willing playmaker. When that ball starts moving, everyone benefits. He doesn’t force the issue. He doesn’t chase shots.”

The Wizards should be getting Rui Hachimura and Thomas Bryant back for their season debuts sometime soon. So, how will they fit into the rotation? nbcsports.com/washington/wiz… – 2:21 PM
