AP recap: Scoring seven points in a quarter is normally nothing for Tracy McGrady.
With his team down 2-0 in the opening round of the playoffs, it meant everything to the Houston Rockets.
McGrady scored all of those seven in the final 3:29, finally snapping out of a fourth-quarter slump and finishing with 27 to lead Houston to a 94-92 victory over the Utah Jazz on Thursday night that gave the Rockets life in a series that could have been headed for a sweep.
"This was a very emotional win for us," said McGrady, who had scored one point total in the fourth quarter of the first two games of the series. "We played like we really didn't want to go home early. We played with a lot of passion and a lot of heart."
The Rockets were trailing the best-of-seven series 2-0 and coming to Utah, where the Jazz had the best home record in the NBA. One of Utah's four losses in Salt Lake City was to Houston, which won the Jazz's home opener and did it again when it mattered much, much more.
Rafer Alston added 20 points and five assists in his first game in nearly two weeks. Carl Landry had 11 rebounds and two blocks, swatting away Deron Williams' shot that could have won it for the Jazz just before the buzzer. Landry also sacrificed his left front tooth, courtesy of an elbow from Utah's Carlos Boozer in the second quarter, and had a huge gap in his post-game grin.
Landry said he was seeing double after the elbow and was bleeding from the mouth as he was led to the locker room, but was back for the second half.
"This was a big game. It doesn't matter if you've got a hurt toe or a hurt back, whatever the case may be," Landry said. "No matter what it is, football, hockey, basketball. It's part of playing sports."
