WASHINGTON (AP) — Rookie Adama Sanogo had 22 points and 20 rebounds to shatter his career highs and help the short-handed Chicago Bulls beat the Washington Wizards 129-127 on Friday night. Chicago coach Billy Donovan gave starters DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic and Alex Caruso the night off after clinching the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference on Thursday night with a victory in Detroit. “It allows them to rest a little bit,” Donovan said. “And then we’ll probably talk after the game tomorrow about going to the New York game.” Those absences and others allowed Sanogo, who has spent most of his time this season playing in the G League, to play 35 minutes. “It feels good, man,” Sanogo said. “I’ve been waiting for this all year. So to be able to come in and do it now, it feels great. ... The thing about this, it’s like a dream come true for me.” |
