After Action Report
The Jazz knocked off the Rockets 113-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
