After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 133-100. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
