After Action Report
The Bulls took care of the Rockets 101-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Bulls. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
