Houston Rockets 96 - 85 Utah Jazz
After putting up a spectacular performance against the Denver Nuggets and notching their 12th straight win, the Houston Rockets had to pack up and get ready for another encounter against an up and coming talented team in the Utah Jazz with star Rookie Point Guard Donovan Mitchell a day after in a back to back schedule.
It was a rough going in the early quarters of the Game and at one point the Rockets trailed the Jazz by 15 points.
Missing some of their key pieces in Clint Capella, Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson the Rockets came in to the Jazz’s Vivint Arena a bit hobbled and short handed along with some very tired legs from the previous nights encounter against the Nuggets up in Denver.
However, with the help of Cameroons Luc Mbah Moute who took over the scoring and energy plays in the 4th quarter the Rockets were able to go on a run with a 26-point turnaround to eventually pull off the victory.
This is their 13th straight victory and they are hoping to match their early season win streak of 14 games as they try to stay atop the league with the best record and secure home court advantage throughout the playoffs. They will face the L A Clippers next on Wednesday in a nationally Televised Game on ESPN.
