After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Jazz 131-99. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Jazz. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
