    All the Washington Wizards want for Christmas is Bradley Beal and John Wall at their healthy best.

    That's what Washington got in a 107-97 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, when the Beal-Wall backcourt combined for 44 points, 14 assists, five steals and only four turnovers. The Wizards are 13-11 when both are in the starting lineup.

    "We made a conscious effort about a dozen or 14 games ago to play faster," coach Scott Brooks said. "We've got all this athleticism and we have one of the fastest point guards (Wall) in the league. We want to be able to utilize it every trip down the court."

    Wall finished with 23 points and nine assists, while Beal totaled 21 points and five assists. Neither played in the first meeting between the teams on Nov. 12, which the Bulls won 106-95 in Chicago.
