After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 140-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
