After Action Report
The Jazz survived the Rockets 104-103. Every possession went the Jazz way. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. 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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
