After Action Report

In Utah, the Rockets squeaked past the Jazz 119-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

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.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
