After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Trail Blazers 107-105. Rockets torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
