Portland Trail Blazers vs Houston Rockets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 14, 2025

Kevin Durant's 30-point night powered Houston past Portland, 140-116, as the Rockets' opening salvo overwhelmed a Trail Blazers team that never recovered from a scorching first quarter. The combined total of 256 eclipsed the market by 4 points, with Q1's explosive 73-point outburst setting the tone. Houston's 41 points in the opening frame—fueled by Durant's scoring and Alperen Sengun's all-around excellence (25 pts, 10 reb, 9 ast)—built a cushion Portland could not close. The Blazers managed 32 in Q1 and fought back with balanced scoring from Deni Avdija (22 pts, 10 reb, 4 ast) and Shaedon Sharpe (19 pts, 8 reb), but the damage was done.

The second half told a different story. Q2 became a drag on the total—only 56 combined points as both teams cooled significantly. Portland trimmed the deficit through Q3 (Houston 36, Portland 31, combined 67), but Houston's depth proved decisive. Jabari Smith Jr. added 22 points for the Rockets, while Toumani Camara's 16 points kept Portland within reach in spurts. The final quarter's 60 combined points sealed a lopsided affair. DAGGER leaned over, and it cashed as the opening quarter's frenzy and balanced second-half scoring pushed the game just over the number despite the late-game slowdown.
