TUESDAY, 2/22/05 – Oh what a heart breaker. With the Rockets doing so well over the past few games and with a good showing by Houston’s All-Stars over the weekend, it seemed anything was possible, including knocking off the current third-seeded Western Conference playoff team, the Seattle Sonics. A quick good start after the All-Star weekend would have been ideal. And for all but the last few seconds of the game it was within reach.
