After Action Report
The Jazz blew the doors off the Rockets 110-89. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
