After Action Report
The Trail Blazers upended the Rockets 95-93. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
