After Action Report

The Rockets squeaked past the Jazz 119-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Jazz. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
