After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets snuck past the Bulls 105-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
