After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Jazz 114-75. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; Jazz's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
