After Action Report

The Rockets survived the Trail Blazers 105-103. Rockets torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
