Bogdanovic Sinks Rockets
The Utah Jazz defeated the host Houston Rockets, 114-113, at Toyota Center on Sunday evening.

It was a wild finish in Houston, as P.J. Tucker hit a three to put the Rockets up by two, with 1.6 seconds left on the clock, but Bojan Bogdanovic hit a three-pointer, on a last-second catch-and-shoot, to put the Jazz up by one and secure the win. Bogdanovic's three gave him just eight points in the contest, as he was quiet on the night, shooting 2-of-7 from the field, in 32 minutes of action. It was a hard-fought contest all the way through, as neither team could create significant separation. The Rockets held the biggest lead of the game, when they led by 11, early in the second quarter. This marks the second straight win for the Jazz and the second straight loss for the Rockets.

Jordan Clarkson came up huge for the Jazz, as he poured in 30 points on 12-of-19 shooting, in 29 minutes off the bench. Donovan Mitchell added 24 points, six assists and five rebounds, while Mike Conley tallied 20 points, six assists and five rebounds. The Jazz shot 48 percent from the field, including 15-of-38 from long range.

Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook led the Rockets with 39 points, six rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block, in 38 minutes. James Harden tallied 28 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and a steal, while Robert Covington added 14 points, five rebounds, a steal and a block. The Rockets shot 46 percent from the field, including 15-of-42 from long range.

The Rockets (33-20) will look to bounce back as they play host to the Celtics on Tuesday. The Jazz (34-18) take on the Mavericks in Dallas on Monday.
