After Action Report
The Rockets pulled away from the Trail Blazers 100-90. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
