The Portland Trail Blazers headed into Houston to face the Rockets with high hopes tonight, owners of a three-game win streak and fresh off a convincing win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. As it turned out, Chris Paul’s 37-point performance was simply too much for the Trail Blazers to overcome on the second night of a back-to-back. Damian Lillard returned to action for Portland, his timely 29-point performance giving his squad hope in the fourth quarter. After trailing by double-digits most of the game, they managed to cut the Houston’s lead to just three in the final moments.
