Houston's Offensive Juggernaut

Utah's Struggle Continues


On the other side, Utah Jazz faced challenges in finding their rhythm throughout the game. Despite putting up a fight in each quarter and scoring over twenty-five points in three out of four quarters, they were unable to contain Houston’s dynamic offense or match their scoring pace. The Jazz managed to shoot only at a rate of forty-three percent from field goals and struggled particularly from behind three-point line where they hit just twenty-five percent of their attempts.


Utah’s top performer remained unnamed but it was clear that as a unit they could not overcome Houston’s defense which limited them significantly below their average offensive output for this season.
