Wizards-Bulls Preview

By TAYLOR BECHTOLD
Posted Apr 16 2013 6:25PM

While Derrick Rose doesn't appear likely to return, the Chicago Bulls are getting relatively healthy as they wrap up the regular season.

That certainly won't hurt the Bulls' chances as they look to finish with the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference on Wednesday night when they host the sinking Washington Wizards.

After losing four of five, Chicago (44-37) seemed to be re-energized Monday with Luol Deng, Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson looking healthier in a 102-84 victory at lowly Orlando.

Deng, battling a hip injury which recently caused him to miss two games, may be returning to form after totaling 37 points in the last two. He scored 18 and shot 8 of 11 while grabbing eight rebounds Monday.

Noah (right foot) played for the second time in 14 games, and Gibson (left knee) was back following an eight-game absence. The big men combined for 18 points and six rebounds in 36 minutes off the bench to help the Bulls avoid a third straight loss.

"I'm just happy that my foot held up," Noah said. "I think we're a pretty deep team. We just need to play together and get our chemistry right. The last game is important."

That's because Chicago can secure the No. 5 seed in the East by finishing in a tie with Atlanta. The Bulls own the tiebreaker, having won two of three from the Hawks.

They'll face fourth-place Brooklyn if they finish fifth, or Central Division champion Indiana should they fall to sixth. Chicago took three of four from the Nets and lost three of four to the Pacers.

Whether Rose (knee) will be back for the postseason is still to be determined, but for now, the Bulls are focused on moving forward with their current group.

"You have to make the best of whatever your circumstances are," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "Having so many guys out, and then some guys resting down the stretch, gave our guys an opportunity to grow."

Thibodeau's team has dropped the last two meetings with the Wizards, but both were in the nation's capital. Washington has lost seven of eight in Chicago and seven straight on the road overall.

Neither team has scored more than 90 points in this season's three matchups and neither has reached 100 in the past seven.

After showing plenty of promise once John Wall returned from a knee injury, the Wizards (29-52) aren't finishing the season the way they'd hoped. They've dropped five in a row and blew a 17-point lead Monday in a 106-101 loss to Brooklyn, which played without four of its five regular starters.

"I don't care if this is the second-to-last game or not, you've got to have a little bit of pride to play defense in the fourth quarter to win a game," coach Randy Whitman said after his team gave up 33 points in the fourth.

Wall, who had 18 points and 12 assists Monday, has averaged 25.8 points over his last 12 games. He led the way with 27 points, nine assists and eight rebounds in a 90-86 win over Chicago on April 2.

Starters Nene (knee, foot), Martell Webster (abdomen) and Bradley Beal (leg) have been ruled out.

The Wizards will try to win this season series for the first time since 2007-08.

Bulls beat Wizards to lock up No. 5 seed in East

CHICAGO (AP) With their star sidelined all season and just about everyone else in their rotation banged up at some point, the Chicago Bulls did not take the easy road to the playoffs.

They got there, though - even if the outside expectations are a little lower this time.

Carlos Boozer had 19 points and 15 rebounds and the Bulls locked up the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 95-92 victory over the Washington Wizards in the regular-season finale Wednesday night.

Kirk Hinrich added 18 points and Nazr Mohammed added a season-high 17 for the Bulls, who will face the Brooklyn Nets in the first round.

Chicago finished with the best record in the East the past two years but has ceded that distinction to the defending champion Miami Heat.

Considering all they've overcome, they'll take it.

"We proved this year that we can beat the best and lose to the worst," Joakim Noah said. "Up-and-down year. It's been a tough year. I'm proud of the way we've handled so much adversity."

They've dealt with the soap opera surrounding Derrick Rose and his season-long recovery from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, not to mention a long line of injuries to other key players.

Yet here they are, about as healthy as they've been all season and hoping to stick around and not make this a one-and-done playoff appearance.

They come in on a winning note, although this game sure wasn't easy.

They had to withstand A.J. Price going off for a career-high 24 points and John Wall finishing with 23 after a slow start, not to mention several big comebacks when the Wizards looked as though they were ready to be put away.

The Bulls led by 21 late in the first quarter but allowed Washington to pull within a point in the second. Chicago then got the lead back up to 11 in the third, but the Wizards rallied again.

This time, Washington tied it at 85 on a 3-pointer by Price with just over three minutes left before the Bulls responded with seven unanswered points. Richard Hamilton fed Jimmy Butler for an alley-oop dunk, Hinrich hit a floater and Luol Deng nailed a 3 - after missing five of his first six field goal attempts - to make it 92-85 with 1:42 remaining.

The Wizards cut it to 94-92 on a 3-pointer by Wall and a floater by Price with 26.1 seconds left. Hinrich then had a chance to make it a two-possession game but missed the first free throw before hitting the second to make it 95-92 with 17.1 seconds left.

Taj Gibson blocked a 3-point attempt from the wing by Price with 10 seconds left, and Wall put up an air ball from long range at the buzzer with Butler guarding him, preserving the win for Chicago.

"I was surprised (Gibson) got a piece of it," Price said. "I told him he's so long after he blocked the shot. I thought I had room. Had about four feet, but he still got a piece of it. Great defensive play by him."

The Bulls appear to be healing with the playoffs set to begin.

They had every key player available except Rose, although Noah (foot) and Gibson (knee) had their minutes limited for the second straight game after missing time because of their injuries.

Noah played 14 minutes, did not score and grabbed one rebound. Gibson had eight points in 21 minutes, and it's not clear if they'll start or come off the bench when the Bulls open against the Nets.

"We're just trying to figure out the best thing in terms of where their minutes are," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "But having them back is a big plus for us. Whatever they can give us, I feel confident they will get better as time goes along."

The Wizards had their share of injuries, too, and a season that started with 12 straight losses ended with them dropping their sixth in a row. They were missing Emeka Okafor after he sprained his right ankle against Brooklyn on Monday.

"Great season for our team from where we started and where we finished," Wall said. "We know where we can be if we play together and everyone stays healthy."

Notes: The Bulls took three of four from Brooklyn, winning twice at the United Center and once at the Barclays Center. ... Boozer had his 13th double-double in 16 games and his 44th of the season. ... Besides Okafor, Washington was also missing Bradley Beal (stress injury, right fibula), Nene (sore left foot), Martell Webster (strained abdomen), Trevor Ariza (sore left knee) and Leandro Barbosa (torn left ACL).

Notebook: Bulls 95, Wizards 92

THE FACTS: Carlos Boozer scored 19 points and pulled down 15 rebounds as the Chicago Bulls outlasted the visiting Washington Wizards Wednesday to record a 95-92 regular season finale. The victory secured the No. 5 seed in the playoffs for the Bulls. Kirk Hinrich added 18 points and Nazr Mohammed, starting in place of Joakim Noah, had 17 points for the Bulls, who finished the season 45-37. The Wizards got five players in double figures led by A.J. Price, who had a career high with 24 points. The Wizards finished 29-53 and missed the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season.

THE FACTS II: The Wizards never led in the game, and trailed by as many as 21 points in the first quarter. But they eventually forced a tie at 85-85 midway through the fourth quarter.

QUOTABLE I: "We are just trying to figure out the best thing in terms of where their minutes are. We may adjust them as we go. I want to think it through."
-- Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau about whether Noah is going to start or come off the bench in the playoffs.

THE STAT: The Wizards' bench outscored the Bulls' bench 43-23, even though the Bulls had four players on the bench who had started numerous games for them this season -- Noah, Richard Hamilton, Marco Belinelli and Nate Robinson.

TURNING POINT: The Bulls won the game by scoring seven straight points after the Wizards forced the game's first tie at 85, but the Wizards made it a game by erasing a 21-point first quarter deficit to put the difference into single digits for most of the second half.

INJURY UPDATE: With Noah and Taj Gibson playing in the last two games of the season, the Bulls' injury list heading into the playoffs has just Derrick Rose and Vladimir Radmanovic on it. The big question is whether Rose will be placed on the team's playoff roster. The Wizards had six players unavailable due to injury, adding Emeka Okafor on their injury report for the final game with an ankle injury.

HOT: Bulls center Mohammed, who did not play for most of the first half of the season while Bulls coach Thibodeau tried to learn to trust him, went seven for 12 from the field for his season high 17 points.

NOT: Noah, playing in his second game back after games because of his recurring plantar fasciitis, did not score and had only one shot and one rebound in 14 minutes of action.

QUOTABLE II: "I'm just happy I did not have too much pain in my foot. I wish I would have gotten more (time)."
-- Noah.

GOOD MOVE: Thibodeau kept Noah on the floor for just 14 minutes, and played Gibson 21 minutes as he tries to recover from a strained MCL.

NOTABLE: The Bulls actually gave up a point by getting two "delay of game'' calls, the first coming before the opening tip when Jimmy Butler's pre-game salute to the fans took too long... the Wizards may have set an NBA record for airballs, with at least five for the game, including the final shot... the Wizards went 25-25 over their last 50 games, and that's only because they lost their last six games... the Bulls won three of four games against their first round playoff opponent, Brooklyn, this season

UP NEXT: For the Bulls, the first round of the NBA playoffs against the Brooklyn Nets, starting Saturday in Brooklyn. For the Wizards, season ends.
