After Action Report
In a track meet, the Jazz demolished the Rockets 144-114. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Jazz ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
