After Action Report
In Portland, the Rockets rolled past the Trail Blazers 103-82. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
