After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz outlasted the Rockets 104-96. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. The Jazz steamroller is in full effect right now; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
