The Houston Rockets seek to extend their win streak to five games as they visit the Chicago Bulls on Sunday at United Center. The Rockets keep racking up wins as they improved their overall record to 9-4 following their second win in three days against the Los Angeles Clippers. Alperen Sengun had another terrific all-around game, posting 16 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in 33 minutes of play. But Jabari Smith Jr. proved to be the game-changer as he finished with a season-high 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. The Bulls suffered their 8th loss of the season at the hands of the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers, 144-126. Coby White scored 28 points on 8-for-15 shooting and Patrick Williams had 9 assists. However, Chicago had no answers on how to stop Donovan Mitchell, who waxed hot with 37 points on 12-for-23 shooting.
