BOOYAH! The Jazz...SOMEHOW...held off to beat the Rockets in Game 2 116-108.
Let's be honest here: the Jazz got really lucky that the Rockets shot as badly as they did, but Dante Exum; Alex Burks; & especially Ingles played incredibly.
That said, the arrogance of the Rockets was on full display tonight. They played the entire game like they could just "turn it on" at any time, playing complacently in large spurts. They almost got away with it, too, just because they ARE that stupidly stacked with talent. But the Jazz wanted this win, and a team of relative nobodies beat the best team in the league.
Hey, at least we won't be swept, and the pressure's all on Houston. The Jazz weren't supposed to even MAKE the playoffs, let alone the 2nd round.
For the life of me, I don't understand how the Rockets decided to play that last minute. They didn't even try to win by playing the Foul Game. They just conceded the game & let the Jazz walk away practically uncontested.
