After Action Report

In Utah, the Rockets outlasted the Jazz 111-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
