After Action Report
The Bulls demolished the Rockets 118-97. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Bulls; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
