The Oklahoma City Thunder had a relaxed 145-117 win over the Chicago Bulls. The former led for the majority of the contest by double-digit points and by as many as 43 points.

Thunder 145, Bulls 117: Josh Giddey's return to OKC was spoiled. The Thunder destroyed the Bulls in a game where they led by as many as 43 points. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a modest 27 points and 12 rebounds as he sat out another fourth quarter.

Arguably having the best seat in the world, Josh Giddey had a firsthand experience in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's superstar rise after sharing a backcourt with him for three seasons. He saw him go from a first-time All-Star to MVP runner-up.

Thunder general manager Sam Presti didn’t want to trade Josh Giddey. Presti's belief in the Australian guard has been justified with his Bulls breakout.

Giddey wasn't the only player who struggled for the Bulls. Coby White has also been red-hot lately, and he was held to just seven points. The Bulls have been winning a lot of games recently because of the way that White and Giddey have taken over contests. If they combine for 22 points, Chicago isn't going to win a lot of games.

I think you see now it’s not over until it really is over,” Giddey said after his half-court, buzzer-beating game-winner against L.A.

Josh Giddey — who sank the longest game-winner ever scored by a Chicago Bulls player at the United Center — is on the best tear of his young NBA career.

The Thunder continue a four-game homestand when they host the Chicago Bulls on Monday. This will mark Josh Giddey's first return to OKC since he was traded in the offseason.
