HOUSTON — All it took was five seconds for Chicago Bulls’ forward, Javonte Green, to out-hustle Eric Gordon on the opening tip for a two-hand slam. Green’s dunk gave the Bulls a two-point advantage over the Houston Rockets and a lead Chicago would not relinquish.
Green would go on to score four points Monday night, as the Rockets sustained a 133-118 loss to the Bulls inside the United Center. The Rockets fell to a 10-21 record on the season. Houston and Chicago split their two-game series for the 2022 campaign.
Christian Wood led the Rockets with his 16th double-double of the year.
