After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Trail Blazers 99-97. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
