After Action Report
The Bulls snuck past the Rockets 120-116. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
