The Rockets outlasted the Trail Blazers 118-108. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
