The Rockets survived the Jazz 129-125. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
