The Rockets blew out the Jazz on Monday night, 125-105. Houston pulled away in the second quarter and was up by as many as 30 points in the second half. To make things even worse for Utah, it lost Vince Williams Jr. to what is believed to be an ACL injury during the second quarter when Tari Eason veered into the side of Williams on a fast break.
The play happened right in front of a referee and ended with Eason dunking the basketball while Williams crumpled into a heap on the Jazz bench. Replay showed both how reckless Eason’s decision to bump Williams was and how bad the injury might be.
