After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Bulls 126-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
