In game news, the Rockets dropped a road game to the Portland Trailblazers by the score of 125 to 112. Damien Lillard continues his insane hot streak, routinely draining 3pt shots from near half court. CJ McCollum continues to be one of the best terrible shot makers in the NBA. And, of course, Hassan Whiteside had a dominant night because Mike D’Antoni refused to play a center after it became clear Clint Capela could neither move easily, nor jump.
The Utah Jazz are a good matchup team for the Rockets super-smallball lineup.
