After Action Report
In Chicago, the Rockets squeaked past the Bulls 128-123. Rockets torched the Bulls on the offensive end. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
