After Action Report
The Rockets pulled away from the Jazz 92-80. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; second-chance points piled up for the Jazz. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
