After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Jazz 86-85. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Jazz are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
