The Jazz continued to play very well defensively in the second quarter and led by as many as 12 before the Rockets closed well to trail by just six heading into halftime, 53-47.
Most notably, Houston made two 3-pointers and James Harden connected with Clint Capela for an alley-oop in the final three minutes to close the gap.
At halftime, Jae Crowder leads all scorers with 18 points. Harden leads Houston with 13.
FIRST QUARTER
Like it did in last Saturday, an energized Utah Jazz squad came out strong on Monday night in Game 4 of its playoff series against the Houston Rockets at Vivint Arena and leads 32-24 at the end of the first quarter.
