After Action Report

The Jazz edged the Rockets 128-119 in overtime. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
