After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls edged the Rockets 103-94. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. The Bulls sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
