After Action Report

The Rockets ran roughshod over the Jazz 128-106. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
