Can Portland Trail Blazers Rebound Against Houston Rockets at Moda Center?

As the Portland Trail Blazers prepare to host the Houston Rockets at the Moda Center, fans are eager to see if their team can turn around a challenging season. The upcoming game, scheduled for April 12th at 7:00 PM local time, will be broadcast on ROOT Sports NW and Space City Home Network.

The Trail Blazers have had a tough run in their recent games. In their last outing against Orlando Magic, they narrowly lost with a score of 103-104. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; they managed an impressive 51 percent shooting from inside the paint and secured 51 rebounds. Their three-point shooting was also decent at 36 percent.

However, consistency has been an issue for the team from Portland. In a previous game against Miami Heat, they suffered a heavy defeat with a final score of 82-142. This game highlighted some areas needing improvement - particularly on defense where they allowed an opponent field goal percentage of 59 and struggled with turnovers giving up possession twenty-four times.

Against Atlanta Hawks before that, despite scoring over one hundred points (106), defensive frailties were exposed as they conceded one hundred twenty points in return. The team did show resilience by maintaining an assist-to-turnover ratio close to two and hitting forty-five percent from beyond the arc.

The Trail Blazers will need to leverage their home-court advantage at Moda Center to overcome these challenges against the Rockets. They'll look to tighten up defensively while continuing to exploit their offensive strengths - particularly in generating second-chance points where they've shown efficiency.

Fans can catch all the action live on April 12th as both teams battle it out on court – will Portland use this opportunity to rebound from recent setbacks?
