Haywood scored 29 points with six assists and Millsap had seven rebounds to go with his 21 points.

Utah led by 18 late in the third period before Houston cut its deficit to four midway through the final quarter. The Jazz closed the game on a 16-8 run.

Goran Dragic led Houston with 19 points and Kyle Lowry had 15 off the bench.
