After Action Report
In Houston, the Trail Blazers survived the Rockets 95-94. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
