NBA PLAYOFFS: THE HOUSTON ROCKETS VS. UTAH JAZZ GAME 3 WILL TELL ALL

I’m holding true to my faith that the Rockets still have everything they need to succeed. They cannot allow themselves to get complacent and take this opportunity for granted.

On Wednesday, May 2 the Utah Jazz came alive in Game 2 and had the attitude of, ”How you like me now?” I knew in my heart there was no way Utah would take a Game 1 beating that the Houston Rockets put on them (Final Score Rockets 110 – Jazz 96), and not have a response. I always say, never underestimate your opponent.

It seemed as if Utah had more fight in them during game 2 as a unit. Rudy Gobert went off continuously got open, and lit up the net. Of course rookie sensation Donovan Mitchell is ready to show off and go into beast mode when necessary.

The Rockets were struggling with shots from the three-pointer and two-point lane. It was absolutely mind blowing to see the basketball do a magic trick before our eyes. One second it appeared to go in, the next second it magically popped right out. Unbelievable!

After the Rockets 108 – Jazz 116 loss, the team was a little deflated. Nevertheless, this will definitely motivate them to come back stronger and tonight’s game 3 will tell all. This is a defining moment and I can’t wait to see both teams battle it out on the court.

And although the Jazz fans are known to be extremely disrespectful, I am praying that our home team will block out the noise and haters to stay focused on the main reward. During game 2 in Houston, Harden is seen in a viral video slapping a Jazz fan’s phone down after he made a disrespectful comment. I’m praying for your strength Harden. You got this. Ignore them.

Game 3 of the Rockets vs. Jazz NBA Playoffs will take place in Utah with a start time of 9:30 CDT. The Rockets starting lineup includes James Harden, Clint Capela, Trevor Ariza, P.J. Tucker, and Chris Paul.

I also want to send a major shout out to Clint Capela for hustling hard. He is also a shining star that is truly remarkable to behold.
