After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Jazz 102-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
