However, he shot just 4/16 from the field and 2/9 from the three-point range.

Meanwhile, the Thunder were led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who opened up the season with a fantastic 31 points, five rebounds, ten assists, one steal and two blocks in 36 minutes.
The Thunder shot an impressive 54.9% from the field and 48.7% from the three-point range, while the Bulls shot 41.5% from the field and 28.6% from the three-point range.
The Bulls will play their next game on Friday evening when they host the Toronto Raptors back at the United Center.
As for the Thunder, they will stay on the road and face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Ohio (also on Friday).
