After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Rockets 120-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
