After Action Report
The Trail Blazers upended the Rockets 106-100. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · 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.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
