Utah was fortunate to extend the series as the Rockets suffered through a horrible shooting night, hitting just 28-of-79 shots for a .354 field goal percentage, but that will change as Houston goes back home for the potential series winner. James Harden scored 30 points, but he missed 11-of-19 shots and the Rockets were outrebounded 52-35 as the Jazz responded to the desperate situation it was in. Houston is 7-0-1 ATS its last eight home games and 9-2-1 ATS versus Western Conference teams and 9-2 ATS its last 11 games overall. Utah still is 1-4-1 ATS the last six meetings and 1-5 ATS its last six conference quarterfinal games. Lay the points with the Rockets.
