Bulls Drop Home Opener @ OKC Thunder
Durant scored 30 points, Russell Westbrook added 28 points and 10 rebounds and Oklahoma City beat the new-look Chicago Bulls 106-95 on Wednesday night in the season opener for both teams. Rose scored 28 points to lead the Bulls in Tom Thibodeau’s debut as head coach. He had only four points in the final 21 minutes, his hot start cooled off by foul trouble. The Bulls missed three shots on the same possession including Sefolosha’s block of a fast-break layup by Rose and then got a third offensive rebound before calling timeout with 11 seconds left on the shot clock. They couldn’t get a potential tying shot off before the buzzer. “You can’t have blown sets in the fourth quarter,” Thibodeau said. “I think that’s where you have to be at your best. You have to be able to execute under pressure, and we’ll do better. We have to do better." Joakim Noah had 19 points and 18 rebounds, Taj Gibson added 16 points and 11 rebounds and Deng scored 13 for Chicago en route to the first lose of the season.
