After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers survived the Rockets 108-105. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. Survive-and-advance type win.
