Deron Williams Game 1 Round 1 2008 playoffs
April 19, 2008 HOUSTON -- The Utah Jazz failed to secure home-court advantage for their playoff series with Houston. Maybe they won't need it after all. Andrei Kirilenko scored 21 points, Carlos Boozer had 20 points and 16 rebounds and the Jazz beat the Rockets 93-82 to take a 1-0 series lead Saturday night. Deron Williams had 20 points and 10 assists as Utah, 17-24 on the road during the regular season, won its second straight playoff game in Houston. The last victory came in Game 7 last season, and that was when Houston had Yao Ming. The All-Star center is out for this series with a foot injury and the Rockets have to wonder how they're going to compete with the Jazz inside. Utah had a 34-29 rebounding edge through three quarters Saturday night and Boozer hit 10 of 20 shots. "They've got some guys who kind of fill his spot," Boozer said of Yao's absence. "You can't replace Yao Ming." The Rockets led last season's first-round series 2-0, before losing four of the next five. Now, Houston must win at least once in Utah, where the Jazz had an NBA-best 37-4 record. "We're definitely happy to get the first one," Williams said. "That was our goal, to come in and steal one early." Game 2 is Monday night. Kirilenko hit 8 of 12 shots and Utah's reserves also contributed, outscoring Houston's reserves 28-17. "We've had guys all year, when guys go out with fouls or injuries, that have just been able to step up," Williams said. "That just continued now." Shane Battier scored 22 and Tracy McGrady had 20 points for Houston, which shot 37 percent (29 of 79). The Rockets are also playing without starting point guard Rafer Alston, who strained his right hamstring late in the season. His backup, Bobby Jackson, scored seven points on 3-for-15 shooting. "Yes, we miss Rafer," said McGrady, who went 7-for-21 from the field and had seven assists. "We miss his long-range shooting, we miss him controlling the tempo of the offense. We missed everything about him tonight." Houston coach Rick Adelman conceded the Rockets can't afford to have any starter misfiring if they're going to make this series competitive. "(Jackson) really struggled making shots," Adelman said. "The situation we're in, we can't have off nights from too many people. We have to have more people be more efficient offensively." The teams ended up tied with 41 rebounds apiece, but the Jazz got them when it mattered early. Utah finished with 50 points in the paint. As Yao watched in a gray suit from the Rockets' bench, Utah outrebounded Houston 12-5 in the first quarter and led 23-18. Without the 7-foot-6 Yao to guard him, Boozer was a handful for Houston, grabbing seven rebounds and scoring six points in the quarter. Adelman had three rookies on the floor to start the second quarter - point guard Aaron Brooks and forwards Carl Landry and Mike Harris. Even with McGrady still in the game, Utah took advantage, stretching the lead to 30-20 and forcing Adelman to call time out. "It was big for us to come out and establish our presence early," Williams said. "We did a good job of attacking." The Rockets outrebounded the Jazz 9-3 over the last five minutes of the half and trailed only 47-41. Houston opened the second half with a 12-4 burst and McGrady had a hand in every point, with either a basket or an assist. He found Luis Scola open for a layup, then scored on a drive of his own to put the Rockets up 53-51, their first lead since the opening minutes. The Jazz controlled the game from there. Boozer scored on three straight Utah possessions, but picked up his fourth foul with 6:30 left in the third quarter and was replaced by Paul Millsap. Scola, guarded by Boozer most of the game, promptly scored inside to cut Houston's deficit to 57-55. But Kyle Korver sank a pair of 3-pointers in the final 2:29 of the third quarter and the Jazz led 68-60. The Rockets hurt themselves further by going 6-for-12 from the free-throw line in the quarter. Williams sank a 3-pointer with 9:29 left to extend Utah's lead into double digits again. The Rockets never made a serious threat after that. The public-address system played the "Rocky" theme during a time out with 5:51 remaining, but the Rockets couldn't muster an inspiring comeback. McGrady didn't score in the final quarter and a half and Houston's reserves played the final four minutes. "They've kind of taken away our first option and we're a little stagnated on the offensive end and don't know what else to do," McGrady said. "We're all out of sync and we don't have too many guys out there who can create their own shot." Houston won its season opener in Salt Lake City, but the Rockets have lost the last three times they've met Utah in the playoffs.

Deron Williams' 22pts vs T-Mac&Rockets Game 2 Playoffs 2008
HOUSTON, April 21, 2008 (AP) -- Tracy McGrady bent over in exhaustion as the final seconds ticked away of another playoff loss. The seven-time All-Star had 23 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists, but faltered again in the fourth quarter as the Utah Jazz beat the Houston Rockets 90-84 on Monday night to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Deron Williams, who briefly left the game with an injury, finished with 22 points and Mehmet Okur added 16 points and 16 rebounds for the Jazz, who have won eight of the last 10 meetings with Houston. Game 3 is Thursday night in Utah, where the Jazz went 37-4 during the regular season. "It's great for us to come out the way we did and not settle for the one victory," said Williams, who re-aggravated a tailbone injury. "We wanted to get both of them, get greedy. We've just got to go back now and take care of business." McGrady, who has never advanced past the first round of the playoffs, fell just short of his first postseason triple-double, but he went 0-for-4 from the field and scored only one point in the final quarter. He scored 20 points in Game 1, but went 0-for-3 from the field in the fourth quarter of Utah's 93-82 victory. McGrady played 43 minutes and said he was tired at the end of Monday night's game, a combination of Utah's physical defense and his efforts to carry his team. "I had no legs. I was on empty," McGrady said. "Banging with Matt Harpring, trying to rebound, trying to make plays for my team, trying to score, playing 43 minutes. That's a lot." The Rockets still had their chances to win. Luis Scola hit two free throws with 1:21 to go to cut Utah's lead to 85-82. After Williams missed a driving layup, Houston's Bobby Jackson hit a 3-pointer that would have tied the game but Scola was called for an offensive foul away from the ball when he pushed Andrei Kirilenko. McGrady blasted official Tony Brothers for the call and accused Kirilenko of exaggerating the contact. "You can't call that," he said. "I like Tony Brothers, but that was a bad call. Very, very bad call. Three points down, crucial point in the game and Kirilenko flops. He flops and you call a foul on that? It was a bad call." Kirilenko grabbed an offensive rebound on Utah's next possession and Kyle Korver flipped in a one-handed shot as the shot clock expired to put the game out of reach with 20 seconds to go. Carlos Boozer added 13 points and Williams had five assists for the Jazz, who closed the game with a 14-8 run. Utah went only 17-24 on the road during the regular season, but the Jazz have won four straight playoff games in Houston, including the last two games at the Toyota Center in the first round last year. "It's big for us," Boozer said. "We came in here trying to get Game 1. That was a tough task, but we accomplished it. And then Game 2 was tough, but we held our composure down the stretch and got a win." Jackson bounced back from a 3-for-15 performance in Game 1 to score 18 points. The Jazz led most of the way and were up 64-61 with 1:47 left in the third quarter when Williams limped to the locker room with a trainer after re-aggravating the injury that has bothered him for a week. Ronnie Price, Williams' replacement, hit a 3-pointer just before the quarter ended to give Utah a 69-67 lead. Williams returned to the bench before the final quarter began. He was back on the court with 9:18 left in the game, after Aaron Brooks blew by Price for a game-tying layup. McGrady went out for a rest when Williams came back and Williams drove for a layup with 7:41 left to put the Jazz up 76-74. McGrady returned with 7:07 remaining and was fouled on a jumper with 6:39 left. He hit a free throw to tie the game at 76-all. Williams hit a short shot at the other end to put Utah back on top. Kirilenko stole the ball from McGrady near the 5-minute mark and Williams made a free throw to give the Jazz an 81-76 lead. McGrady finished with five turnovers. While the Rockets played better than they did in Game 1, they still had no answer for Williams, who hit the first three 3-pointers he attempted. Boozer committed his second foul and went to the bench with 5:47 left in the first quarter, but the Rockets started committing careless turnovers that led to easy baskets and Utah stretched the lead. Houston shot and rebounded better than it did in the first half of Game 1, but trailed by exactly the same score at the break, 47-41. Okur, who scored only four points in the opener, had 10 in the first half on Monday, including two 3-pointers in the final 35 seconds. "My teammates created open shots for me and I felt real good," Okur said. "I was focused and I hit my shots." Houston scored mostly inside in the first half, but went 0-for-7 from 3-point range.

Game 1 round 1 Utah vs Houston 2008 Playoffs
April 19, 2008 HOUSTON -- The Utah Jazz failed to secure home-court advantage for their playoff series with Houston. Maybe they won't need it after all. Andrei Kirilenko scored 21 points, Carlos Boozer had 20 points and 16 rebounds and the Jazz beat the Rockets 93-82 to take a 1-0 series lead Saturday night. Deron Williams had 20 points and 10 assists as Utah, 17-24 on the road during the regular season, won its second straight playoff game in Houston. The last victory came in Game 7 last season, and that was when Houston had Yao Ming. The All-Star center is out for this series with a foot injury and the Rockets have to wonder how they're going to compete with the Jazz inside.
