A little context for those who are confused. The Rockets and Trail Blazers are vying for the highly coveted NBA social media award for "Team Social MVP."
The Rockets bested the Blazers in the regular season as they finished with the fourth seed to Portland's fifth, but the Blazers got revenge by eliminating the Rockets in the first round of the Western conference playoffs.
