After Action Report
The Rockets upended the Bulls 131-130. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
