Jazz stunned Rockets and series is 2-0 now

 

No matter how impressive the Rockets were in the regular season, now the Jazz is blurring all of that with their superiority against Houston in the first round of the 2008 NBA playoff series as they stunned them by 2-0 playing at Toyota center, and now they are heading to Utah with a clear advantage that leaves them 2 games short of going to the second round, and so Carlos Boozer screamed when he was going of the court “We're not coming back.”

Not bad for a team that struggled their way from being an underdog team into the Northwest division champions they are now.

Now, on the Rockets, I think if they had Yao Ming healthy for this post season games, the story for Houston could be a very different one, but honestly Dikembe Mutombo is really old and cannot go along with the rythm the Rockets had when Yao was their All Star.

Final score on the game was 90-84 with Deron Williams being the man leading the scoring board for Utah with 22, while Boozer had 13 points and finished with 13 rebounds, and on the Rockets side, and despite of having the Jazz deffense on his back most of the game, -- specially on the fourth quarter when he score just a single point --Tracy McGrady managed to come up with 23 points and Bobby Jackson ended with 18 points.

Now, the Jazz knows that Houston beat theam at EnergySolutions arena during the regular season, and so they know that the pressure is on them to make this series a very short one.
