After Action Report

The Rockets rolled past the Trail Blazers 102-81. The better team simply showed up tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
