WASHINGTON — – Leonard Miller<\/a> scored a career-high 26 points and matched his career best with 11 rebounds as the Chicago Bulls<\/a> eased to a 119-108 victory over the Washington Wizards<\/a> on Thursday night to sweep a two-game set.<\/p>\n

Tre Jones<\/a> scored 31 points and Collin Sexton<\/a> added 27 for the Bulls, who won 129-98 at Washington on Tuesday night to snap a seven-game skid.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Bulls center Guerschon Yabusele<\/a> departed early in the third quarter with a sprained left shoulder.<\/p>\n

Will Riley<\/a> scored 23 points to lead Washington, which had 10 players sidelined by injuries.<\/p>\n

Julian Reese<\/a> added 16 points and 15 rebounds for the NBA-worst Wizards, who have lost 24 of 25 to sink to 17-63 with two games remaining.<\/p>\n

Chicago 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.<\/p>\n
