After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz ran roughshod over the Rockets 127-99. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
