After Action Report
The Rockets edged the Bulls 126-119. Rockets' offense had its way with the Bulls. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
