After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Jazz 134-113. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
