After Action Report
The Jazz handled the Rockets 118-107. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Jazz ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
