After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Trail Blazers 111-74. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.

- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
