After Action Report

The Bulls survived the Rockets 119-116. Bulls' offense had its way with the Rockets. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Bulls. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
