The Houston Rockets have a whole new feel to them in 2013-14 as the Big Fella...Dwight Howard is getting more and more comfortable. The Rockets go into the New Salt Palace the Energy Solutions Center and take apart the Jazz in the 2nd half after being down big in the 1st half.
Behind only 15 points and nine boards from the Star of "As Dwight Turns" Dwight Howard the Rockets get a big night from Jeremy Lin, James Harden, and Parsons Chandler. Lin's 20 points, Harden's 23 points , and Parsons in a Red Nation Tree's 24 points and twelve boards helped the Rockets pull away in the end with a 104-93 "W". The Rockets down 56-40 at the break put it in Hyper-warp and went to Space on the Jazz with a 33-17 3rd frame. They didn't let up there as they went 31-20 to close it out and move to 3-0.
The Jazz had the Rockets where they wanted them but tried to play their game in the 2nd half and they could not match up. The Jazz were led by Richard Jefferson's 18 points and 15 points apiece from Gordon Hayward and Alec Burks. The Jazz now fall to 0-3 and Lead Man Ty Corbin has to be on the Hot Seat. The Rockets had a +15 from the Arc on the Jazz and a +12 in Free Throw Attempts edge on the Jazz as well.
Next up the Rockets hit Lob City for a Monday Night tilt with the Clips in a possible Western Semis Preview.
