After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Trail Blazers 123-104. Rockets torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
