After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Rockets 106-102. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
