Jazz
Utah
True
The Houston Rockets ( 17 - 19 ) defeated the Utah Jazz ( 15 - 18 ) 93 - 91 on Monday . The Rockets looked like two entirely different teams during the first and second halves while visiting Utah . Down 58 - 48 at halftime and surrendering 37 second quarter points , the defensive breakdowns and sloppy fouls began to bury the Rockets early on . James Harden provided a major spark to the offense during the second half , combined with Montrezl Harrell 's boost on defense , and the result was a Rockets win . Harden finished with 30 points , five rebounds and seven assists on 9 - of - 25 shooting . Dwight Howard added 16 points and 13 rebounds , while Harrell 's defensive prowess was only highlighted statistically by his plus/minus of nine . The Rockets were dealing with an onslaught of injuries heading into the game . Ty Lawson ( ankle ) , Donatas Motiejunas ( back ) and Marcus Thornton ( personal reasons ) were unavailable for Houston in the win . The Jazz were unable to execute their second half game plan down the stretch , and once James Harden got going , there was not much any defense can do to stop the current second best scorer in the league . Injuries also riddled Utah heading into Monday , as Derrick Favors ( back ) was sidelined . The bright side to Favors ' injury is the playing time that Trey Lyles has been seeing in his absence . The Kentucky product and No . 12 pick in the draft , Lyles finished with 13 points in 20 minutes on 6 - of - 10 shooting . Utah continued to find Rodney Hood around the perimeter and the starting guard turned in 23 points on 5 - of - 6 3 - point shooting . Gordon Hayward continues to regress in 2015 - 2016 , as the max contract forward added 20 points on 39 percent shooting , to go along with seven rebounds and three assists . The Jazz and Rockets will meet again on Thursday in Houston .
