Second match of the series with Rockets to rejoin Jazz.
The hosts are scoring in the first match they easily won with 122-90 and made 1-0. Harden and his companions were unstoppable, the team is molded at the right time and shows that it will not face particular problems in the series. They should not relax because Jazz is a good team and they will try to react. The team is expected to be re-filled again.
On the other Jazz did not convincing in the first match and now they have to react if they want to have hopes for the continuation of the series. The plan to deal with Harden failed and now they have to redefine their defensive function, of course, which is not easy at all, since the Rocket superstar reads very quickly the opposing defense and exploits his teammates. Once again, except Dante Exoum, while Tambo Sepholosa is dubious.
Summing up I think that the Rockets will make another victory to go quiet in Salt Lake but I do not believe Mormons will show the same bad guys and raise their scoring.
According to the above, the point I choose is ... Rockets (-3.5 & over 209.5 pts) in performance 2.40 at stoiximan.
