Bulls win in Houston
Stephen Jackson joins Rockets; Three in a row for Bulls
Bulls 113 Rockets 103

Derrick Rose throws down a dunk on Luis Scola Wednesday night in Houston.

News broke late last night that the Houston Rockets acquired Stephen Jackson through a trade from the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks received Johnny Flynn, Hasheem Thabeet, and a second round pick for Jackson. With the Rockets standing at 12-8, they felt acquiring Jackson would help push them into the playoffs. They seem to be tired of waiting on the maturation of Terrence Williams. Stephen Jackson made it to Houston just in time to tip-off with the Bulls. While he did have a nice debut with 19 points, 11 boards and 6 assists, it was not enough to stop the Bulls.

The Bulls shot the lights out in Houston with a whopping 60% from the field. Derrick Rose had another good scoring night with 29 points. "The only statistic I looked at tonight was turnovers. I had eight. That can't happen. I've got to play better" said the humble Rose after the game. Bulls had 6 players score in double figures. They also had 28 points off the bench. Rookie Jimmy Butler saw his first extended action of the year and played well. Butler had 4 points, 2 boards, and 2 assists in 11 minutes.

Bulls will stay in Texas but scoot on over to San Antonio. They play Tony Parker and the Spurs (13-11) Saturday night. Bulls beat them in Chicago on November 30.
