After Action Report
The Jazz downed the Rockets 106-88. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
