After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets buried the Trail Blazers 116-91. Rockets' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
