After Action Report

In a track meet, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Rockets 128-83. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. The Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
