The Rockets missed an opportunity to close out this series and get a little rest before their potential semifinal matchup with the Golden State Warriors after giving away a game they had controlled for the first three quarters. They will be trying to bounce back from their disappointing fourth quarter performance and close out the series with a win on Wednesday.
James Harden leads the way for the Rockets with 28.3 points, seven rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game.
Chris Paul is averaging 18 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game, while Eric Gordon is averaging 15.3 points and 2.5 rebounds per game.
The Rockets have also played well defensively, holding the Jazz to 99 points per game. They will need to keep playing well on defense if they want to advance to the next round on Wednesday night.
