After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 145-106. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 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.
