After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Bulls 101-96. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
