After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz fended off the Rockets 108-102. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
