After Action Report

The Rockets survived the Jazz 118-114. Rockets torched the Jazz on the offensive end. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
