The Houston Rockets, even without James Harden, have their style and can execute it very well. It can fluctuate at times, but they managed to put on impressive runs to start and end this game, ultimately putting away the Bulls comfortably with a 116-107 margin.
Houston started off the game hitting 8 of their first 10 threes, usually after beautiful ball movement or in transition.
While the Bulls were usually posting up Robin Lopez or something, and he managed to pull off both an offensive and defensive 3-second violation. With Nikola Mirotic out sick, Cristiano Felicio came in as the backup center and didn’t fare well either.
