After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Jazz 121-120. Rockets torched the Jazz on the offensive end. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
