After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Jazz 113-75. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
