Lauri Markkanen is my player of the match. He scored 24 points and four three-pointers and looked solid. It was his third match for the season as he has been out due to the elbow injury.

Lauri executed the last play for the Bulls which made the difference in the match. He shot the final lay-up over Paul George and running Steven Adams which shows the fearless attitude of the 21-year-old Finnish basketball player.

The game-winner:

If he remains fit for the rest of the season, Bulls can undoubtedly improve their record this season.

Below is what the young star had to say after the match:

''We've had a couple of rough weeks here,'' Markkanen said. ''Adversity hit us. I think that made us stronger. (We) have to put the team first and just keep going.''

Both the teams have home games next.

Chicago Bulls will host Boston Celtics next, and OKC will host Utah.
