For the second straight postseason, the Rockets eliminated the Jazz in five games to send Donovan Mitchell and company back home to Utah, as Houston advances to the Western Conference semis, following a 100-93 home win in Game 5.
James Harden led the way with 26 points, six rebounds and six assists, while Clint Capela scored 16 points, and Chris Paul and Eric Gordon each had 15 points each.
The Rockets shot just 13-of-37 (35%) from three, but used solid defense down the stretch to get stops and earn the victory.
Houston will likely travel to Golden State in the next round to take on the Warriors, with Game 1 slated for Sunday. You'll be able to hear the action on our sister station, NewsRadio 740 KTRH.
