The Chicago Bulls (25-25) charge into Southeast Texas this evening to take on the high-octane Houston Rockets (36-17) for the first time this season. Chicago blows into Space Town feeling confident after crushing both Philadelphia and Oklahoma City in successive fashion this week.
It all started Sunday at the United Center, where the Bulls charged to a 121-108 thrashing of the 76ers. Jimmy Butler led the way with 28 points and Robin Lopez added a season-high 21 points and had 10 rebounds, but the real story of the evening was just how well Chicago played up-and-down the roster.
