After Action Report
The Jazz ran roughshod over the Rockets 132-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Jazz's stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Jazz steamroller is in full effect right now. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Jazz · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
