Mike D'Antoni and James Harden's team, defensive? You bet. On night two of a road back-to-back at high altitude, the shorthanded Rockets (46-13) held the previously red-hot Jazz to just 85 points and extended their winning streak to 13. - Here’s a recap of how they did it, with special praise for defensive ace Luc Mbah a Moute (17 points, 7-of-7 FG, including 15 in the fourth quarter), a crucial defensive adjustment by D'Antoni, and an under-the-radar efficient night from Harden (26 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 8-of-13 FG). - The show also explores the illness-related absences of Clint Capela and Eric Gordon, as well as minor injuries to Ryan Anderson (hip flexor) and Brandan Wright (knee). The absence of those four players left Houston with only nine active players in Utah. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
