After Action Report
The Bulls edged the Rockets 97-90. Bulls torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
