After Action Report
The Jazz ran roughshod over the Rockets 130-104. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
