After Action Report
The Rockets held off the Jazz 115-106. Every possession went the Rockets way. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
