Two Eastern Conference teams looking to end their seasons on a high note clash this Thursday as the Chicago Bulls visit the Washington Wizards. The Bulls, holding the No. 12 seed with a 30-49 record, have struggled down the stretch, dropping four of their last five. Their lone recent win, however, came against these very Wizards just this past Tuesday.
