After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Bulls 130-123. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
