Yao reacts to an offensive foul called against him in the fourth quarter Thursday night in a disappointing 94-82 loss in Utah. With the loss in Game 6, the Rockets and Jazz will play Game 7 Saturday night in Toyota Center. Click here for more photos from the game.
This is starting to get old and predictable. The Rockets were close to pulling off an improbable victory in Game 6 on Thursday night in Utah, but down the stretch they folded like a cheap suit.
Let’s forget about the first 3 quarters. The most important part of the game started after Shane Battier’s three-pointer pulled the Rockets within one point, 75-74, with 8:15 remaining in the game.
From that point, the Rockets failed to close the deal, making just 2-of-9 shots and turning the ball over an incredible 5 times.
This is not your 1994 or 1995 Houston Rockets.
I was so disgusted, it took me forever to get motivated to write this entry. Instead, right after the game I had to watch the Golden State-Dallas game to get a dose of fun, exciting basketball from the Warriors.
