The Chicago Bulls dropped their first game of the season to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, but it was more than just any other loss. They got blown out, losing 124-104, and the ramifications of the defeat spilled into the locker room as Chicago held a players-only meeting.
Tensions were high, and conversation was flowing as Bulls players talked through their feelings after the tough loss. Head coach Billy Donovan said this sort of conflict is a good thing, as the Bulls are looking to embrace it this season rather than shy away from it in hopes of improving as a whole.
After the game and the meeting, Zach LaVine spoke about it and how the team should be feeling.
