The Bulls were given another opportunity to take advantage of a depleted opponent against the Thunder on Tuesday, and they did just that in a resounding 123-102 victory. Zach LaVine scored an easy 40 points through three quarters with Lu Dort and Al Horford both out and unable to help hold down the fort defensively for OKC. The Thunder also didn’t have George Hill or Darius Bazley available.
LaVine shot a ridiculous 15-of-20 from the field and 7-of-12 from 3-point land, getting wherever he wanted on the court and facing very little resistance. The Bulls outscored the Thunder by a whopping 36 points in his 31 minutes as he quickly found a rhythm after his quiet game against the Raptors.
