After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets outlasted the Bulls 106-95. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
