Hello Scorum Fans! Today I present to you Episode 26 of NBA Highlights and for today's Episode, we will have a short recap of Game 2 of the playoff match-up between the Houston Rockets VS the Utah Jazz where the Rockets easily sealed the victory taking a 2-0 lead in their best of 7 series.
Harden took care of business as he tried to clear his MVP case with an MVP caliber of performance in Game 2 finishing with a triple-double of 32 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists which is Harden's third career playoffs triple-double. Last year, Rockets and Jazz faced off in the second round of the playoffs but unlike last year, the Rockets beat the Jazz in Game 2. The Rockets are ready for the Jazz to bounce back and they did not let that happen just like last year where the Jazz stole Game 2. They know how important home games are and they want to take that advantage and not let a single mistake take that away from them. So, as a result, the Rockets build an early lead and dominated Utah to make sure of the win.
The Rockets did a great job defensively on Utah's second year star Donovan Mitchell holding him to just 11 points with 5 turnovers. Rubio and O'neal scored 17 points a piece but wasn't enough. And for Houston, Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker both had 16 points while Chris Paul added 17 points.
If the Rockets keeps playing like this throughout the series, I think they'll be able to sweep the Jazz. I believe the Rockets are poised now for a revenge from last year. They are aiming for a deep playoff run or even a championship run but the path gets harder now because they'll likely meet Golden State early in the second round and not in the Western Conference Finals so they have to be ready.
But for now, let's just focus on this series so let's sit back, relax and enjoy watching some NBA Highlights!
