After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Trail Blazers 101-96. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
