After Action Report
In Houston, the Jazz buried the Rockets 123-99. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
