The Chicago Bulls faced a tough challenge on the road Monday night, falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a lopsided 145-117 loss at the Paycom Center.
The Thunder’s offense was firing on all cylinders, led by Isaiah Joe, who exploded for 31 points. Oklahoma City, currently one of the top teams in the league, showcased their offensive depth and efficiency, proving too much for Chicago’s defense to handle.
On the Bulls’ side, Jevon Carter stepped up as the leading scorer, putting up 17 points. However, it wasn’t enough to keep pace with a relentless Thunder attack that saw multiple players contributing across the board.
With this defeat, the Bulls drop to a 33-42 record, further jeopardizing their chances of securing a play-in tournament spot. Meanwhile, the Thunder improved their impressive season record to 63-12, continuing their dominance in the Western Conference.
Chicago will need to regroup quickly as they look to bounce back in their next matchup. With just a handful of games remaining, every contest is crucial for their postseason hopes.
