After holding Jazz star guard Donovan Mitchell to 19 points without an assist on Sunday, the Rockets expect Mitchell to be more aggressive in Game 2.
"Just as much as I am, he's a competitor," Rockets guard James Harden said. "He loves to go out there and hoop. He loves to hoop and he's a beast. He was aggressive in Game 1 and he'll be twice as aggressive in Game 2."
The Rockets have generally kept Mitchell in check. He averaged 23.3 points and 5.8 assists in the four regular season meetings. Mitchell averaged 19.4 points and six assists in the second-round series against the Rockets last season.
