After Action Report
The Bulls demolished the Rockets 118-97. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
