After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Trail Blazers 110-108. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
