After Action Report

The Bulls buried the Rockets 138-107. Bulls' offense had its way with the Rockets. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
