After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Jazz 133-112. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
