The Rockets beat the Trail Blazers! Durant dominates the offense, Sheppard +3 starts the game, and Amen makes a three-pointer

In the game between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers on November 15, 2025, the Rockets performed well. They maintained the advantage in the first quarter and continued to widen the point difference in the second half, eventually completing a 140-116 victory.

Durant can still dominate the offensive end in this game. He scored 16 points in the first quarter. As long as he plays, he can guarantee the team's score. Basically, the team wins one point for every minute played. With 30 points in the game, his condition has become more and more stable. The plus-minus value is still +37. He can mobilize the team's upper limit.

Of course, several other points are performed very well. Shepard is still the focus player this time. Especially on the defensive end, he actually sent 4 steals in a single game, completely restricting Sharp. His performance on the offensive end was also good. It is true that his three-point shooting rate was not very good, but with 13 points in the game, he maintained a more offensive and defensive state.

In addition, Shen Jing can maintain a near-triple-double performance, especially three-pointers and defense. This season's improvement has been huge. With 25+10+9+3 steals and 3 blocks in the game, he maintained both offense and defense. He can really become a core player inside. Smith was in very good shape this time, scoring 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting. His recovery has also greatly boosted the offensive end. Some of his offensive options look like Durant. In addition, Okogie can still dominate the offense and defense, not only stealing, but also flying dunks, scoring 11+4 assists in the game.

Adams is still the basic player at the basket. Because he can easily handle high center forwards, and he likes to fight at the basket most. In addition, Klingen has no defensive ability, which allows Adams to not only handle rebounds, but also defend, and even push defensive players out of the baseline. His position in the Rockets has now been very solid, and he can become the mainstay of the interior.

Amen's shot is still iron. 0 of 4 three-pointers in the game, this efficiency is still not enough. In other aspects, Amen's control is still good, but this aspect still needs to be continuously strengthened in private.
