Rockets Hold Off Jazz To Take Commanding Lead In West Semis

Rockets

On a day the Rockets didn't have the range from three, they were still able to pull out an  100-87 win over the Jazz in Game Four of the Western Conference  semifinals at Vivint Smart Home Arena.  Chris Paul showed off why  Houston acquired him as he diversified their offense from the mid range  on his way to 27 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.  Clint Capela  dominated the interior with 12 points, 15 boards and six blocks.   The Rockets were 10-of-38 from behind the arc as they took a commanding 3-to-1 lead  in the best-of-seven matchup.  They can close it out and advance to the  Western Conference Finals at home on Tuesday.  Donovan Mitchell scored  25 points, but was 8-of-24 from the field before fouling out late in the  fourth quarter.  The Jazz led for only 20 seconds in their two games at  home.
