The Jazz at least improved in the second game of the series and lost only by 20 points. However, a major issue for the Jazz is the fact they have been unable to slow down the offense of the Rockets late in the games and that led to the Rockets coming back to get the win in the game. What else has proven to be a problem for the Jazz is the complete lack of urgency from the players and that is going to really be a major issue for the Jazz as they head home.

The Jazz have been unable to slow down the Rockets offense at all and that is going to happen again in this game again. The Rockets are going to rely on Harden to carry the team, but Capela may be able to do better on the glass. The Jazz, though, are unable to do much in this game and are blown out again. Final Score, Houston Rockets win, but grab the points 114-102.
