After Action Report

The Trail Blazers took care of the Rockets 124-107. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
