Result:
WIN

The pressure is building on Utah, getting routed in the first two games, 122-90 and 118-98. The fact is that this is a terrible matchup for a Jazz offense that ranked #17 in the league in scoring, and #26 in free throw shooting. After the All-Star break, the talented Rockets had the league's best record (20-5) and are on an 8-1-1 ATS run against the Western Conference. Houston is top 11 in the NBA in scoring and free throw shooting, while the defense is vastly improved at top 10 in points allowed, and second in three-point defense. They've held Utah to 15-of-65 from three-point range in this series. The Rockets are on a 5-1 ATS run at Utah, including a 125-98 win here in February as a +7 dog. Play Houston.
