The Rockets failed to repeat their winning ways versus the Jazz in a 135-101 blowout on Monday night at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City. Houston upset Utah the last time they visited in mid-January, but the hosts were without the services of superstar shooting guard Donovan Mitchell.
Things looked a little different this time around, as Mitchell controlled the game from start to finish. He scored an efficient 15 points in each half, which resulted in a game-high 30 during a commanding victory.
One aspect of the game that Mitchell did not overlook as his team won its sixth consecutive game was the Rockets’ young talent, particularly the starting backcourt of Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green.
