The Oklahoma City Thunder(19-10) defeated the Chicago Bulls(7-24) at home, 121-96 in cross-conference matchup. Last time these teams played OKC lost to the Chicago bulls team, which is currently in disarray and fired their head coach Fred Hoidberg. The Thunder put the game away in the second quarter run. Paul George led the surge with 16 points and 6/6 shooting from the field in the second quarter and pushed the lead to 20 points. As always, the Thunder relied on their defense and made Bulls to commit 23 turnovers. Russel Westbrook, currently averaging triple double, recorded 11 steals in his last 2 games. He is reading passing lanes so good, that he is currently leading league in steals per game with 2.3, Paul George is second. The game was not very interesting, because it was already decided in the second quarter. The only thing that stood out was the brawl that happened in the third quarter beetween players. Chris Dunn sparked the fight and Robin Lopez joined him, but Steven Adams held Robin Lopez’s arm so he cannot punch anyone. For the Bulls, they desperately need a new coach, because Jim Boylen cannot control the team at all.
