After Action Report
The Bulls shocked the Rockets 109-91. Bulls' starting five clicked while the Rockets looked disjointed. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
