The Chicago Bulls started the new season with a nightmarish result, not being able to resist a beatdown by the Oklahoma City Thunder in an away game.

Following the result, the players of the team headed by Zach LaVine got together in a players' only meeting in which the results of the game and ways of responding were discussed.

Speaking to ESPN, Zach LaVine had the following to say.

"Guys want to win. You put up a game like this in game 1, you're going to have some conversations. Guys are frustrated and you should be. ... It's a good thing, but sucks that it happened game 1. It happened, and we got to go from there," the guard was plain in his statements.

While the start of the regular season was less than stellar, it appears that there are instances of a lack of harmony in the team. In the third quarter of the Oklahoma City game, Montenegrin center Nikola Vucevic and coach Billy Donovan got into a duel of words.

However, the situation quickly cooled down as both Vucevic and Donovan reiterated the mutual respect between them and downplayed the event.

The Chicago Bulls will have the chance to redeem their start to the season against the Toronto Raptors on 28 October.
