After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 106-80. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
