After Action Report

The Jazz handled the Rockets 116-105. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it
