After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets handled the Jazz 121-102. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
