After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Rockets 117-90. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
