After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Rockets 137-113. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
