Chicago Bulls fall short on a mission to beat Houston Rockets

Perimeter shooting from the Houston Rockets became too much for the Chicago Bulls to contain in an effort to stage a comeback at the start of the fourth quarter.

The game didn’t always seem out of reach for the Bulls to think they could win.

The tone was set early on with small forward Chandler Hutchison getting the start in the place of the injured Otto Porter Jr. who is sidelined indefinitely with a sprained left foot. Hutchison brought a level of physicality, which is something the Bulls have needed in his absence, and it showed early on with the second-year wing stealing a board from the Rockets.
