After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Rockets 109-107. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
