After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Trail Blazers 114-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
