After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets downed the Bulls 106-93. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
