After Action Report
The Bulls demolished the Rockets 130-105. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
