After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Bulls 121-99. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
