Westbrook, who is the current leading scorer in the NBA with an impressive average of 31.2 points per contest, got an ample support from the Thunder's big men. Steven Adams went on an 11-14 shooting from the field and finished the match with team-high 22 points while Enes Kanter had a double-double production of 20 markers and 11 boards.
The Thunder's duo helped the squad to a remarkable 56.6 percent shooting clip, a 60-36 edge on points in the shaded area, and a 42-38 advantage in rebounding. It was the inside play of Adams and Kanter that really hurt the host team, with the big men scoring with ease or passing out of double-teams to set up their teammates.
"I thought tonight, on both ends of the floor, we played at a high level," Thunder Head Coach Billy Donovan said after the match.
Dwyane Wade paced Chicago with 22 points, while Michael Carter-Williams added with 15 markers and Cristiano Felicio finished the game with 11 points and 11 rebounds.
According to the official website of the NBA, the victory was the Thunder's 23rd triumph in 39 games played this season. They also improved their games on road record to 9-10 and had won six of their last 10.
The Bulls dropped to 19-19 and suffered their eighth lost at the United Center in 20 matches played in the said 960,000 square feet indoor sports arena.
The Thunder will be hosting the visiting Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday evening, while the Bulls will head to Washington on Tuesday night for their next game assignment.
