After Action Report

The Bulls survived the Rockets 103-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
