The Utah Jazz got their shot at revenge in a rematch with the Houston Rockets after suffering their first loss of the season on Monday. The team got back into the win column and improved their record to 4-1. At the start of the season Houston and Utah were expected to be jostling for position at or near the bottom of the Western conference standings but that hasn’t worked out so well for the Jazz so far. Either way, it has been refreshing and fun to watch this young team exceed expectations.
Houston kept the game close for a good part of the first half but couldn’t stop the Jazz from scoring 39 points in the second quarter en route to a 12 point halftime deficit.
