SALT LAKE CITY - The offenses and Jazz and Rockets offered a study in contrasts well beyond the Jazz playing at the league's slowest pace while the Rockets have been in the middle of the pack with an idea about moving up.
While the Rockets are built around the playmaking of one player, James Harden, the Jazz rely on motion and ball movement.
Harden leads the NBA in assists, averaging 12.2 going into Wednesday's game, and in points produced off assists, with his assists leading to 29.3 points per game.
Utah's assists leader, George Hill, averages 4.
