In a track meet, the Jazz ran roughshod over the Rockets 136-104. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
