After Action Report
In Portland, the Rockets ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 130-105. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
