The Oklahoma City Thunder (35-22) rolled over the San Antonio Spurs (24-32) on Sunday, accomplishing a number of feats, including finishing with 8 different double-digit scorers for the first time in franchise history.
Tonight, the Thunder takes on the Chicago Bulls (20-38) on the road. The Bulls are fresh off a 126-117 victory over the Washington Wizards (20-35), ending an 8-game losing streak.
The last time these two teams met—back in December—the Thunder edged the Bulls by 3 points in Oklahoma City. Since then, OKC has improved on a much bigger scale than the Bulls, so as long as they take care of business, the Thunder should be able to leave Chicago with a win.
