The Bulls return home from a swing through Oklahoma City and Dallas to take on the Houston Rockets this evening for the first time this year. The teams split a pair of preseason contests in Chicago last month, with Houston running away with a 125-104 victory in the opener, and the Bulls turning the tables two nights later with a 104-91 win of their own.
The Bulls hit the home hardwood off a 117-101 road win over the Dallas Mavericks yesterday afternoon. The victory snapped a four-game losing streak, and it also gave the Bulls a season series sweep of the Mavericks for just the third time in the last 24 seasons.
