After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 121-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
