They just became an "overrated team" because they acquired Clarkson and their record became better after acquiring him but take note that when Clarkson isn't on the Jazz, they are at the bottom spot (around 5-8).
One thing more is that Rockets are just better in this game than the Jazz and they are more aggressive right now because they are playing on the road.

If Harden and Westbrook can do it, Gordon can do it too. I hope that this is the start for him to contribute more in terms of scoring and let Westbrook and Harden do the passing since both of them are good at it.
