The Chicago Bulls headed to Toronto to take on the Raptors Wednesday night at Scotiabank Arena, the first game of coach Tiago Splitter's career and the first game of his prized rookie Caleb Wilson's career as well. 

The Bulls suffered their worst opening night defeat in franchise history by a score of 135-92 as Wilson and his teammates learned a hard lesson. 

Wilson looked back on what went wrong after the game, and the positive things he has to build on, in comments made after the loss. 

Wilson turned the ball over a team-worst and game-worst nine times in his Chicago Bulls debut, leading to a dour mood in the locker room as the rookie forward vowed to not let it affect him emotionally, and to continue to improve. 

"I feel like, watching film I'll learn a lot from it, but also, just seeing the fact that, I had so many turnovers, just because the lanes were so tight, the hands were there. That's just something I'll have to learn from, making sure my moves are sharper." 

Wilson sounded a bit surprised by the precision and intensity of the Raptors' defense. 

"Everything was just more congested, and that's just something you see and learn from," Wilson said to Bulls on CHSN. "I just couldn't hit any shots, I mean, I tried to drive a lot of closeouts, I was able to get to the lane a good amount but I just couldn't hit anything." 

Wilson had 16 points on 7-of-21 shooting, four rebounds and three assists on the night, but his offseason three-point shooting work didn't translate as he shot 1-of-8 from beyond the arc against the Raptors. 

Scotibank Arena was loud from the opening tip as Raptors fans packed the building to watch the return of Kawhi Leonard, who brought Toronto an NBA championship in 2019. 

The noise may have factored into Wilson and his teammates' turnovers, which ultimately doomed them in a blowout loss. 

The Bulls had 27 turnovers compared to 10 for the Raptors.

"I feel like, some of the turnovers I had were like, just not catching the ball, just miscommunication sometimes," Wilson said. "I just feel like, it's all a learning lesson, not too high, not too low." 

Wilson thrived in college, preseason and NBA Summer League action with his calm, cool demeanor, unleashing his wild side whenever it was needed. 

He had a few of his trademark thunder dunks against the Raptors, showing he has the ability to intimidate opposing players at the regular season NBA level. 

Friday brings a 4 p.m. game in Milwaukee against the Bucks that will give Wilson another chance to take better care of the ball, and the Bulls another chance at their first win of the young season.
