After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 123-71. Rockets' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
