Late in the fourth quarter, the Rockets grabbed three consecutive offensive rebounds on the same possession to set up a 3-pointer by Shane Battier.
A minute later, Carl Landry grabbed a loose ball.
Again Battier drilled a 3-pointer.
Four games into their first-round playoff series, the Rockets have beaten the Portland Trail Blazers at their own game.
“(Rebounding) was No. 1 on our list of things that we had to pay attention to coming into this series,” said Battier, who had eight rebounds in the Rockets’ 89-88 victory Sunday over the Blazers in Game 4 at Toyota Center.
“Every game we have focused on limiting them to one shot. So far we’ve done a good job, but we know we have to do an even better job in Game 5.”
