SUNDAY, 2/27/05 - So hot they were burning in flames going into the All-Star break, on the turn of a dime the Rockets have gone ice cold. A Rockets team plus new point guard Mikes James played a Utah team minus Carlos Boozer and still couldn’t finish. While James impressed, the Rockets continued to struggle without the help of Bob Sura.
The first quarter was promising as the Rockets took an early lead. David Wesley cut through the Utah defense for four quick points. T-Mac, who of late has not been playing to his top level, stepped up in the first and scored 11 points. Yao also had his way with the Utah defenders and got position deep in the paint, nearly at will. Although he missed some easy shots early on, the fact that he so easily distorted the Utah defense was a positive sign.
