After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Trail Blazers 109-108. Rockets torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
