Since his 25-point first half in Game 2, James Harden has shot 14-of-54 (25.9%) from the floor in 11 quarters. He went scoreless on 0-of-6 shooting in the first quarter, which ended in a 20-20 tie.

The white has returned to Clint Capela's eyes. They were almost as red as the Rockets' uniform in Utah due to symptoms from one of the illnesses he's fighting.
Mitchell: Fueled by hunger to keep Jazz playing
Donovan Mitchell says he wasn't thinking about his struggles during Utah's first-round playoff series against the Rockets before scoring 19 of his game-high 31 points in the fourth quarter. He just wanted the Jazz to board a flight to Houston.
