The Houston Rockets went into last night’s match up with the Utah Jazz being without Eric Gordon who has been ill for a bit now, Ryan Anderson (left-hip flexor soreness), Clint Capela (Illness) and Brendan Wright (right knee soreness). That’s a big chunk of not only points but on the defensive front as well.
With the Utah Jazz touting talent among the likes of Rookie of the Year candidate Donovan Mitchell and the endless wingspan of Rudy Gobert, Mike D’Antoni was tasked with the difficulty of trying to figure out of how to win this game and being able to overcome the immense amount of weapons their opponent has.
