After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Jazz 89-87. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
