After Action Report
The Jazz ran roughshod over the Rockets 146-123. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
