After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Rockets 107-99. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
