After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Trail Blazers 119-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
