After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 125-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. 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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
