The Rockets held off the Trail Blazers 147-138 in overtime. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
