The only hope for the Houston Rockets fans saw in their pre-season game against Chicago Bulls was veteran John Wall returning to his best. From scoring 3-pointers to mouth-watering assists, Wall was doing it all for his new franchise. With James Harden in self-isolation, there is no clarity to the exact time when he will return back onto the court. 

Whereas even though Wall tried his best, Coby White and Zach LaVine closed out the show for the visitors. With majority of their bench not coming onto the court, the starters had their share of responsibility. But these two been spoken in particular delivered.
