1. Wizards get revenge, crush Bulls 102-86

After the Chicago Bulls made the game's first basket, the Wizards started hitting shots and the Bulls couldn't keep up. John Wall finally got his first career win against Derrick Rose as the Wizards got revenge to tie the season series with Chicago. Washington now holds sole possession of the no. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, behind the Atlanta Hawks, who face each other Sunday in Atlanta.

To the recaps!

3. Rasual Butler gets guaranteed

This was an obvious move for the team, but yesterday, Butler was awarded a fully guaranteed contract. Butler boasts one of the best three-point shooting percentages in the NBA and his ability to come off the bench cold and instantly get hot is something that this team values incredibly.

Needless to say, Butler has been huge coming off the bench all season long since he took Glen Rice Jr.'s spot in the rotation after Rice's shouting match with Randy Wittman earlier this season. This was a deserved achievement for the 35-year old and here's hoping his hot shooting continues all season long.
