The Bulls lost 99-93 to the Rockets at the United Center on Monday, one day after losing at Oklahoma City.

“I felt like we let go of the rope,” Tom Thibodeau said. “Usually, we’re a team that has shown great fight, great resolve. We get down; we fight back. I don’t feel we ever let go of the rope. The last two games, we let go of the rope.”

Thibodeau called the losses the worst consecutive performances since he has been head coach of the Bulls.
