After Action Report

The Rockets survived the Jazz 105-104. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Jazz are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
