After Action Report

The Trail Blazers downed the Rockets 108-92. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
