Regular Season Round 74: Houston R. - Utah Jazz 99-103 OT

Date: January 8, 2011
All the work the Rockets put in during a strong first half began to vanish. The Utah Jazz chipped away in the third quarter, with Al Jefferson taking the starring role and the Rockets offering a supporting cast with their worst-shooting quarter of the season. Then it was Paul Millsap’s turn in the fourth quarter and overtime. By the time it was over, the Rockets had lost a fifth straight game, 103-99 to the Jazz on Saturday night before 16,113 at Toyota Center. “We’ve got to fight through it,” forward Shane Battier said. “Winston Churchill said, ‘(If you’re) going through hell, keep going.’ Hopefully, we can turn it around and win a few games and get the confidence back.” Asked if a five-game losing streak — matching the Rockets’ worst stretch since they began the season 0-5 — felt like going through hell, Battier said: “NBA hell … a five-game losing streak is an NBA hell, but not as bad as a six-game losing streak.” The Rockets coughed up a 14-point halftime lead and led 84-75 following Kevin Martin’s 17-foot jumper with 4:34 left in the game. Millsap, who entered the fourth quarter with only four points, took control by scoring 11 of the Jazz’s final 13 points in regulation. For an encore, the 6-8 forward had 12 of Utah’s 14 points in OT to finish with a game-high 27 points and 10 rebounds. Jefferson, the Jazz’s 6-10 center, had 14 of his 24 points in the third quarter as the Jazz rallied to win for the 12th time this season after trailing by at least 10 points. *Courtesy of www.chron.com
