The Rockets bounced back against the Trail Blazers after a lackluster game against the Jazz with Jalen Green leading the charge. Green scored 26 points to secure a 116-107 victory heading into the season finale against the Clippers. With standout performances from Landale, Holiday, and Thompson, the Rockets never let the Trail Blazers catch up.

Henderson and Walker shined early on for the Trail Blazers, but the Rockets' tenacious defense and offensive rhythm proved too much. Despite Green's injury scare and VanVleet sitting out, the Rockets rallied together to secure the win and head into the final game of the season with momentum.
