After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Bulls 119-68. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
