After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets ran roughshod over the Jazz 141-115. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
