After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Jazz 99-97. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
