After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets demolished the Jazz 156-110. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
