After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Rockets 108-106. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
