After Action Report

The Jazz survived the Rockets 120-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
