You can't really go on the road like the Rockets did and let a 15-1 Utah run start the fourth quarter, in what had been a very competitive game.
Big picture: The Rockets come home with a 3-1 series lead, they can close it out, and that is exactly what they want to do.
Rockets need to save all their energy for what's next: a series against Golden State that everyone wants to see.
