After Action Report

The Bulls rolled past the Rockets 114-82. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
