After Action Report
In Houston, the Trail Blazers demolished the Rockets 122-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
