After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 125-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
