After Action Report

The Jazz took care of the Rockets 118-106. Jazz torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
