The Chicago Bulls defeated the Washington Wizards 119-108 on Thursday night to sweep a two-game set.
Tre Jones led the Bulls with 31 points, Collin Sexton added 27, and Leonard Miller had his career-high 26 points and matched his career best 11 boards.
Miller, Jones, and Sexton combined to shoot 65.3% (32 of 49) as Chicago (31-49) pulled even with Milwaukee for 11th place in the Eastern Conference and the best record among teams eliminated from postseason contention.
Meanwhile, Bulls center Guerschon Yabusele departed early in the third due to a sprained left shoulder.
On the other hand, Will Riley led the Wizards with 23 points, and Julian Reese added 16 points and 15 rebounds.
Washington has lost 24 of 25, sinking to 17-63 with two games remaining, while having 10 players sidelined due to injuries.
The Bulls took control by outscoring Washington 16-4 to close the third quarter.
Jones scored the last six points of that stretch, including consecutive layups in the final minute to make it 87-74.
Both teams will play home games on Friday: the Bulls host Orlando, while the Wizards host the Heat.
