After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Bulls 100-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
