After Action Report
In Houston, the Jazz ran roughshod over the Rockets 118-87. Jazz's offense had its way with the Rockets. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
