After Action Report
In Houston, the Bulls downed the Rockets 115-101. The breakneck pace played right into Bulls' hands. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
