After Action Report
In Portland, the Rockets edged the Trail Blazers 99-92. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
