Rockets center Clint Capela was far from full strength against the Jazz on Sunday, but said the two off days before Game 2 could be enough to get past the upper respiratory infection that limited him in Game 1. It could also aid his trash-talk battle with Utah's Rudy Gobert.
"It was one of my toughest games, because it was kind of hard to recover whenever I was sprinting, whenever I made big efforts for offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds," Capela said. "It felt kind of hard to breathe. I felt like I was a little bit on a step-down, so hopefully I'm better.
