After Action Report
The Rockets handled the Bulls 112-94. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
