After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Rockets 125-106. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
