After Action Report
In Houston, the Jazz handled the Rockets 108-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
