Utah Jazz 98, Houston Rockets 85
The Jazz turned up the defense yesterday as they decided to change gears and play really tough against the stars of the Rockets and let everyone else try to beat them and it worked to a T last night. Yao wound up with 20 points and 5 turnovers and T-Mac was only 6 for 18 from the floor and finished with only 18 points. Deron Williams had an outstanding game last night with 25 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists on 10 of 14 shooting from the floor. Matt Harpring was outstanding again off the bench with 17 points and 6 rebounds in only 25 minutes on the floor. Mehmet Okur finally had a decent game on offense with 16 points and 6 rebounds. Carlos Boozer also had another solid game with 15 points and 10 rebounds. The Jazz and Rockets are now tied at 2-2 in this series.
