The first two games lacked drama. Facing a possible 3-0 deficit, the Jazz are fighting for their playoff lives in this one. They will be at home in front of what is usually a loud and hostile (if often misguided) crowd in Salt Lake City.
Last game we saw the Jazz run through all five stages of defending James Harden. By the late third quarter they were roving around smacking whatever Rocket was near them, but I’d say the refs kept the game under control. We’ll see if that happens in Utah, where longtime Rockets fans have seen that sort of thing before.
