After Action Report
The Jazz survived the Rockets 100-97. Jazz's offense had its way with the Rockets. Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
