The NBA playoffs standings has the Washington Wizards into the second round and they won over the Chicago Bulls for a 4-1 series win in the first round and now they advance in the postseason to play against either the Pacers or the Hawks and John Wall led the way for the Wiz and now they are through in the eastern conference.
Wall has 24 points in the game and Marcin Gortat had 13 rebounds and now the Wizards are through into the next round and they played a very good defensive game against a tough defensive team, holding the Bulls to just 11 points in the third quarter. The Bulls made a comeback in the second quarter, but the missing element of Rose in the offense showed itself in a big way and now they are eliminated. Bradley Beal had 17 points in the game and Nene played well once again and that puts the Wizards into the second round of the series in just five games and now they have to wait to see who they will play next on the schedule.
Joakim Noah played well once again for the Bulls and he had 18 rebounds and seven assists and now the Bulls will wait and see what happens in the rest of the playoffs before their offseason begins. Wall was excellent with four assists, while Nene had 20 points and seven rebounds along with four assists and the Wizards made the most of their first playoff appearance in years.
The Wizards have won six straight games on the road to end the season and that includes the last three in the playoffs and now the team has won the series and the Bulls didn't end up winning any of their games at home in the postseason. The Bulls obviously were hurt by the loss of Derrick Rose earlier
The loss is the sixth straight at the United Center for the Bulls and now the Wizards are waiting for the winner of the Pacers and Hawks matchup and that has Atlanta up 3-2 in that series. The Wizards scored the fewest points in a playoff game in their history and that was enough to win and now John Wall has his team through after scoring 24 points for the Wiz.
The schedule on Tuesday has a number of big games, including the Washington Wizards and the Chicago Bulls playing Game 5 of their series. The Bulls had their backs against the wall as John Wall tries to win it for Washington and they were up 3-1 with the game coming from the United Center. The Bulls lost the first two games at the United Center and now they have the chance to get back into things and the Wiz will try and finish things up to try and advance against either the Atlanta Hawks or the Pacers in the next round.
