NBA Playoffs 2018 Live Score - Houston Rockets Vs Utah Jazz - Game 4

Birthday boy Chris Paul turned 33 and Point God today as he dropped 27 points along with 6 dimes and 12 boards to sink the Jazz at their home court. The Jazz were tied with the Rockets for only the first minute after the tip off and have chased the visitors all night long. Kinda sums it up, doesn't it?

We move back to the Toyota Center for Game 5 and the Rockets should see off the Utah Jazz there to set up an impending date with the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals who themselves are one win away from eliminating the Pelicans.
