After Action Report

The Jazz took care of the Rockets 122-104. Jazz torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
