After Action Report

The Rockets outlasted the Jazz 132-114. Rockets' offense had its way with the Jazz. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

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.
