The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Chicago Bulls, 124-110, at United Center on Friday night.

The Thunder (20-23) came into the contest looking to build on a big road win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night, but they encountered plenty of resistance from the Bulls (19-24) during a first quarter from which OKC emerged with a narrow two-point lead. However, the visitors managed to tack on another 12 points to their advantage prior to halftime, yet Chicago was able to eliminate all but one point from its deficit during the third quarter. Nevertheless, the Thunder eventually regained control by outscoring the home squad, 33-20, in the final 12 minutes.

Josh Giddey led the Thunder with a 25-point, 10-rebound double-double that included six assists and two blocks. Jalen Williams supplied 22 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two steals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered 21 points, six assists, five boards, four steals and two blocks. Darius Bazley registered 14 points, four boards, one assist, three steals and one block. Luguentz Dort netted 11 points.

Zach LaVine paced the Bulls with 25 points, supplementing them with six rebounds and five assists. Nikola Vucevic and Coby White posted 19 points each while adding 11 and six rebounds, respectively. Patrick Williams turned in 18 points, five boards, three assists, one steal and one block. Alex Caruso managed 11 points, five assists, four rebounds, five steals and one block.

The Thunder remain on the road and visit the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday evening, while the Bulls remain home and host the Golden State Warriors on Sunday afternoon.
