After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Rockets 106-103. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Rockets. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
