After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Jazz 114-101. Rockets' offense had its way with the Jazz. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
