Good defensive game from the Rockets, for the most part. The Blazers made runs in the third and huge fourth quarter, but the Rockets maintained poise and stuck it out to get out with a 98-94 win.
Luis Scola played great down the stretch, getting himself into get position on offense to get rebounds.
Yao was struggling in the first half, but really picked it up in the fourth quarter. Artest played a solid game on both ends of the floor. Both Yao and Artest had to leave the game with open cuts. Yao went to the locker room to stop the bleeding.
Next will be Cleveland. What test that'll be for the Rockets. If they continue to play like they've been doing, it should be a great game.
With the win, Houston moves ahead of Portland for 4th seed in the West.
