The Bulls' back-to-back wins in Texas pleased the club and were a measure of the team's progress.

Chicago has struggled with the Rockets in recent history but this time weathered Yao's 30 points in a 94-89 victory at the Toyota Center.

Ben Gordon, per usual, lifted his team with 18 points off the bench.  Veteran reserve Othella Harrington came up with a big contribution of 16.

Tyson Chandler's health problems are a concern.  He is experiencing fatigue and will be watched closely.

"I knew something wasn't right," Chandler said. "I was feeling like I couldn't get my wind."
