After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets buried the Jazz 131-80. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
