After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Trail Blazers 108-98. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
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.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
