The Chicago Bulls have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA recently, winning nine of their last 12 games heading into Monday night, but unfortunately ran into a brick wall.
The Bulls were matched up against the league's top team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and were certainly outmatched. Oklahoma City jumped out to a 33-point lead at halftime and even led by as many as 43, finishing with a dominant 145-117 home win.
The Thunder are now 63-12 on the season, an incredible mark for such a young team.
On top of having a league-best 63 wins on the season, the Thunder are also an absurd 34-5 at home, and now have a historic record against Eastern Conference opponents.
With Monday's win over the Bulls, the Thunder have clinched the best single-season record by a West team against the East in NBA history at 28-1.
Oklahoma City has been historically impressive this season, and setting a new benchmark for best record against Eastern Conference opponents as a West team is very impressive. Of course, the East is in somewhat of a down year outside of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, but it stands as an impressive feat.
The Bulls suffering a 28-point loss amid a hot streak is certainly crushing, but nobody expected them to take on the powerhouse Thunder, and it resulted in a historic night for Oklahoma City.
