After Action Report

The Rockets rolled past the Jazz 112-87. Every possession went the Rockets way. Jazz's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
