After Action Report

The Rockets ran roughshod over the Jazz 123-95. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
