After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Bulls 89-84. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
