After Action Report

In Houston, the Bulls squeaked past the Rockets 91-90. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
