Jazz at Rockets (spoiler)
The Houston Rockets have moved to a 2-0 lead in their series against Utah, winning 98-90.
The Jazz had a career high 41 points, 12 rebounds and six assists from Carlos Boozer (including 17/30 FG) but Andrei Kirilenko racked up five fouls in 18 minutes, Mehmet Okur went 2/9 from the field for just four points, and they could not match the Rockets guns.
Tracy McGrady put up 31 points (9/29 FG), 10 rebounds and fives assists as the Houston overcame a 36-45% accuracy deficit to win. Yao Ming had 27 points (9/24 FG) and nine rebounds while the other three Rockets starters managed double figures.
The Rockets have been tipped by ESPN pundits to win the series in six games.
T-Mac got an "MVP! MVP!" chant in the dying minutes.

In a more predictable series, Detroit moved to 2-0 against Orlando, also winning 98-90.
