After Action Report
The Rockets knocked off the Bulls 138-122. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. 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.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
