After Action Report

The Trail Blazers edged the Rockets 129-122. Trail Blazers torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed.

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.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
