After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Trail Blazers 108-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
