After Action Report

The Rockets downed the Jazz 95-84. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Jazz lately. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
