After Action Report
The Jazz squeaked past the Rockets 97-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; shots just aren't falling for the Jazz lately. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
