After Action Report

The Rockets survived the Jazz 96-92. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
