After Action Report
The Jazz upended the Rockets 110-109. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
