After Action Report

In Chicago, the Bulls outlasted the Rockets 108-89. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
