After Action Report
The Rockets downed the Trail Blazers 111-100. Rockets' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
