After Action Report
The Bulls pulled away from the Rockets 117-100. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
