Result:
WIN

Chicago finished the regular season on a roll at 39-19 over their last 58 games, and most expected them to roll over the Washington Wizards. It never happened in game one with Washington emerging victorious by a 102-93 score. Washington negated the interior strength of the Bulls with Nene and Gortat, who certainly looked better than Boozer and Noah. Add that to the defense of Johnny Wall, and quick guards, the Wizards look like the better team. Chicago struggles offensively, and those droughts cost them dearly in game one as they saw a commanding 13-point lead melt into a 9-point deficit. Washington has been the better team of late at 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings, and have owned these contests in Chicago where they are a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last five trips here. Make the play on Washington in this one.
