Bulls 105, Wizards 77

Easy is good: This was the second stop on an otherwise challenging five-game road trip, so the Bulls should benefit from a nice, low-stress blowout. None of the Bulls played more than 35 minutes.

Early energy: Derrick Rose and Luol Deng scored 21 points each, but Joakim Noah was the catalyst early. He finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds while hitting 8 of 10 shots.

Woeful Wizards: After this mismatch, loyal Bulls fans should feel elated for Kirk Hinrich, who escaped Washington and was traded to Atlanta last week. The Bulls will see him Wednesday.
