NBA -- Thunder beat Bulls to stay unbeaten at home By Homer D. Sayson PhilBoxing.com Sat, 21 Dec 2013  CHICAGO -- Make it a perfect 13-0 for the Oklahoma City Thunder at the home floor. Starring Kevin Durant, who finished with 32 points and nine rebounds, and Russell Westbrook, who added 20 markers and 10 assists, Oklahoma remained the only unbeaten team at home this season in the NBA. The Thunder made it 13 in a row at the Chesapeake Energy Arena after beating the sliding Chicago Bulls, 107-95, Thursday night. They now own the best record in the league at 21-4, a full game ahead of the 20-5 Indiana Pacers of the Eastern Conference. Reggie Jackson finished with 18 points off the bench for the Thunder, who sank 51.2 percent from the field (43-of-84), 60 percent from 3-point range (9-of-15) and 85.7 percent from the free throw line (12-of-14). Oklahoma took care of business early, thanks to 35 points to greet the opening quarter. The Thunder led by as many as 19 points and held off a Chicago rally in the fourth quarter. The Bulls again struggled with their shooting, making only 29 of 77 shots including just 8-for-29 from 3-point territory. They also missed 10 of 39 free throws and lost their fourth consecutive game. Joakim Noah paced Chicago with 23 points and 12 rebounds and Taj Gibson added 16. DJ Augsutin played the point and finished with 15 and five assists while Mike Dunleavy chipped in 11. Since losing Derrick Rose for the season with a torn meniscus the Bulls have won only three of 15 games. They are 9-16 overall, 10th place overall in e weak Eastern Conference. (Homer D.
