After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets shocked the Trail Blazers 130-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
