    Huge W! Harden has a really rare bad game but glad everyone stepped up. PJ is the man fighting for key rebounds for the win! GG's 2 huge threes early in the fourth was key to stopping Jazz's momentum as well. Austin scored when the offense was stagnant, EG hits a really huge 3 to win it.

    I honestly expect us to win by 20 points plus next game. Utah won't put in that much defensive effort when they're 3-0 down.

    They know this was their best chance of beating us. I honestly would rather play against the Warriors than these aggressive defensive teams.

    Right after he hit that 3 he started smiling and forgot where he was and gave up an easy basket to the Jazz when he should have gotten back on D. 3-20 shooting night is a bad night. He had some nice plays but didn't necessarily win the game for us.

    Haha, I'm glad it didn't work this time, even better Houston can close this on their floor for the sweep

    For all the criticism Morey has gotten for his offseason, what the hell has Dennis Lindsey done as GM for the Jazz since last year's playoffs?

    The Jazz have completely regressed in this rematch.

    EG was Big too, man. We always seem to forget about EG. His defense on Donovan was good too but the refs were corrupt.

    ???

    Last year’s team definitely stays in this game and wins it too. The defense would’ve been just as good, and CP3 was better so he would’ve dropped 30 to offset Harden’s bad night.

    The Rockets are up 3-0 against a tough 50-win team. Rockets are only Western Conference team without a loss.

    That felt more like a college bb game than an nba game. Great win.

    I think their pride will warrant another close contents but we will win by double digits. Hardens confidence just grew after his good fouth quarter. I expect another good overall game
