After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Rockets 114-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
