After Action Report

In a track meet, the Bulls edged the Rockets 116-107. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
