In a track meet, the Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Rockets 140-113. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Rockets. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
