After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Jazz 128-118. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
