Zach LaVine meets his “man that dude is fast” quota with that sprint to close the opening quarter.
Layup was likely a half-second too late, but still a fun flash of his fully returned athleticism. – 7:36 PM

With Kristaps Porzingis and Daniel Gafford out with injuries and Taj Gibson on the bench, Wes Unseld Jr. turned to jack of all trades Anthony Gill to play center over the final 4 minutes, 19 seconds of the first quarter. Versatility is one of the reasons Gill is valuable. – 7:36 PM

First few defensive rotations by the Bulls have been sluggish tonight. Feels like each player is either a step off his mark or a step late coming off the help side. – 7:14 PM

A chorus from Takoma Academy just sang the national anthem prior to tonight’s Bulls-Wizards game here in D.C. That was one of the best renditions of the anthem I’ve heard in years. A lot of care and skill went into it. – 7:07 PM

Somehow we’re already halfway through the NBA season — and that means it’s time for a midseason report card for the Chicago Bulls.
Here’s what went well and what needs work from the first 41 games:
