The Rockets held off the Bulls 103-94. Lineup balance gave the Rockets a clear synergy edge. Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
