After Action Report
In Portland, the Rockets survived the Trail Blazers 101-99. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
