After Action Report
The Rockets edged the Bulls 102-93. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
