After Action Report

In Houston, the Bulls survived the Rockets 103-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
