After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz outlasted the Rockets 101-87. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Jazz. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
