After Action Report
The Jazz outlasted the Rockets 121-109. Jazz's offense had its way with the Rockets. Fresh off a statement win, the Jazz stayed locked in; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
