Jazz Dominant In Houston
The Utah Jazz defeated the host Houston Rockets, 122-91, at Toyota Center on Thursday evening.

The Jazz jumped out to a great start on the road with a, 32-18, lead after one quarter. They maintained control in the second and pushed their lead to 21 points by halftime. The young Rockets team had no answers in the third, as the Jazz pushed their lead up to a game-high 36 points late in the quarter. However, the Rockets kept up the fight and rallied to cut it back down to a 20-point game heading into the final frame. The Jazz would not lose focus though, and reclaimed the momentum in the fourth in order to cruise to their fourth consecutive win to start the season, while this marks the third straight loss for the Rockets.

Bojan Bogdanovic led the Jazz with 19 points, in 25 minutes of action. Rudy Gobert added 16 points, 14 rebounds and a block, while Jordan Clarkson chipped in 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and a steal, off the bench.

Meanwhile, only three players scored in double digits for the Rockets, led by Christian Wood, who finished with 16 points, seven rebounds, two steals and a block, in 27 minutes. Alperen Sengun followed up with 14 points, five rebounds and three steals, while Jalen Green chipped in 13 points on 3-of-16 shooting. Kevin Porter Jr. left the game after 19 minutes of action with a sprained ankle.

The Rockets (1-4) will look to bounce back as they take on the Lakers in Los Angeles on Sunday. The Jazz (4-0) will face the Bulls in Chicago on Saturday.
