Game Recap
Chicago's 31-point road victory in Washington—129-98—marked a decisive separation between two defenses running hot and offenses sputtering through stretches. The combined total of 227 landed well under the 250.5 market line, with DAGGER's pregame under call cashing and live adjustments also finding the mark.
The first quarter set a brisk pace at 56 combined points, but Chicago's 38 points immediately signaled offensive intent. The Bulls cooled in Q2 (28 combined with Washington), collapsing the game to 103 combined at halftime—already 20 points shy of the projected total. The second half mirrored that restraint: Q3 produced 60 combined points before Q4's 64-point burst, the game's highest-scoring quarter, proved too little too late to salvage the over. Rob Dillingham led the way with 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Patrick Williams (20 pts, 7 reb, 6 ast) and Tre Jones (20 pts, 2 reb, 9 ast) powered Chicago's attack. Washington never gained traction; Bilal Coulibaly (19 pts, 3 reb, 1 ast), Julian Reese (17 pts, 11 reb, 4 ast), and Sharife Cooper (17 pts, 1 reb, 4 ast) couldn't generate sustained offensive pressure. Both teams carried recent defensive strength into the matchup—Washington allowing 130.4 per game over the last ten, Chicago at 132.1—and the lack of offensive rhythm showed. This wasn't a defensive masterclass so much as an efficiency drought, with both rosters unable to sustain scoring through four quarters.
