After Action Report

The Jazz ran roughshod over the Rockets 129-98. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
