After Action Report
In Houston, the Bulls fended off the Rockets 115-108. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. The Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
