The Thunder had a massive comeback in its sights, but it was just too little too late as the Chicago Bulls ended up with all the holiday cheer.
During a Christmas Day showdown at Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Thunder fell 105-96 to Chicago in what was a hard-fought game, but ultimately one the Thunder played from behind throughout the entire afternoon.
After falling behind 11-0 over the first few minutes of action, the Thunder had to rally back from an eventual 13-point deficit in the first quarter to finally pull within two at halftime. After the break, however, the Bulls jumped on the Thunder with another quick 8-0 burst, ultimately building an 18-point advantage heading into the fourth quarter.
