After Action Report
The Rockets fended off the Jazz 122-116 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
