After Action Report
The Bulls squeaked past the Rockets 102-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
