The Houston Rockets heated up down the stretch and made every three to go on to win their franchise best 12th game in a row. While the game was close through the first 3 quarters Houston pulled away late in the third. The Bulls once again showed that they are going to fast break. The energy in the beginning reminded me of the Nuggets game. The new guys played well even though they didn't get to practice with the team. In Drew Gooden and Larry Hughes' debut they scored 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 13 points, 2 assists respectively. Drew Gooden did have a monster two handed slam over Yao.The team shot the ball well, but didn't play good perimeter defense which led to open shots. Tyrus Thomas had a solid game once again with 18 points 6 rebounds and 5 assists. The Bulls travel to Dallas to play the new look Mavs tomorrow night.
