After Action Report

In Chicago, the Rockets survived the Bulls 114-109. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
