After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets survived the Trail Blazers 100-96. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
