CCI RECAP: A huge second quarter scoring outburst by Paul George (16 of his 23 in the period) was all OKC needed as the Thunder turned up their D taking advantage of seven second quarter Bulls turnovers. On the night the Bulls committed 25 turnovers leading to 24 OKC points. The game became rather “chippy” in the third quarter featuring a scrum of Russell Westbrook, Jeremy Grant, Kris Dunn, Cam Payne and Robin Lopez.
