HOUSTON — The Bulls lost three games in a row during the regular season for the first time in the Tom Thibodeau era as turnovers and poor late-game execution led to a 93-89 loss to the Rockets at the Toyota Center Wednesday night.

James Harden led all scorers with 28 points as the Bulls fell below the .500 mark at 5-6.

Nate Robinson scored 21 points for the Bulls, but his pass intended for Luol Deng with 20.7 seconds went out of bounds and proved costly. Deng wound up with 19 points. The Bulls were just 2-for-16 on 3-pointers and committed 14 turnovers. The sloppy contest saw a combined 37 turnovers.
