Portis' debut is impressive in its own right, especially considering that he made history in the process.

Bobby Portis had 33 points in his final game as a Bull and 30 points in his first game as a Wizard.

He's the 1st player in NBA history with back-to-back 30-point games for different franchises within a season. H/T @EliasSports pic.twitter.com/XpsHmKYNy1

Parker scored just seven points, though he also had nine assists and grabbed 11 rebounds in 23 minutes.

Next up for the Wizards? Naturally, Portis, Parker and the Bulls will quickly reunite Saturday night, as the Wizards and Bulls face-off at the United Center. If one thing is certain, it's that the duo's homecoming is sure to be entertaining.
