After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Bulls 129-115. Rockets' offense had its way with the Bulls. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
