Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (23) does his best to stay with Houston Rockets guard James Harden (13) as the Utah Jazz and the Houston Rockets play in game 2 of the NBA Western Conference playoffs at the Toyota Center in Houston Texas on Wednesday, April 17, 2019. The Rockets won 118-98, to take a 2-0 lead.
