Jazz vs. Rockets 2018 live stream: Time, TV schedule, and. how to watch Game 5 online

The Houston Rockets have a 3-1 series lead over the Utah Jazz, and will try to close out the Western Conference semifinal on Tuesday. Game 5 of the series is set for 8 p.m. ET on TNT (live streaming online via WatchTNT) from the Toyota Center.

Houston lost Game 2, but since then have posted two very convincing wins over the Jazz. Their last outing was a 100-87 win, in which Chris Paul had 27 points and 12 rebounds, while James Harden added 24 points of his own. The Jazz have few answers for Harden at this point, and many believe the Rockets will ice the series on Tuesday.

The Rockets, more than anything, need to continue limiting Utah’s opportunities for threes. In Games 3 and 4, the Jazz shot 31 percent from range, and just 40.1 percent overall. They can’t win with stats like that, and most of it was the result of exceedingly strong defensive play from Houston as opposed to simply poor shooting from Utah.

Clint Capela has been the defensive surge the Rockets needed, and had six blocks in Game 4. Houston’s defense ranks second in efficiency this postseason, according to ESPN.

Below is all you need to know to watch the action on TV and streaming online.
