Blazers Must Do or Die
The Houston Rockets moved
within one victory of advancing
in the National Basketball Asso­
ciation playoffs as they edged
Portland 89-88 in their Western
Conference first-round series.
Yao Ming had 21 points and
12 rebounds for the Rockets on
Sunday, as Houston took a three-
games-to-one lead in the best-
of-seven series. Game five was
scheduled Tuesday night in
Portland with game six if neces­
sary on Thursday in Houston
and game seven if necessary on
Saturday in Portland.
"We still have one more game
to take care of," said Yao, who is
0-3 in playoff series with Hous­
ton. "We've been in this situa­
tion before whether it is up 2-0 or
ahead. My experience here is
before that (clinching) game is
knocked out, it's still 0-0."
B randon Roy sco red 31
points and went 13-for-13 from
the free-throw line for the Blaz­
ers, who led 70-64 going into
the fourth quarter but couldn't
put the game away and suffered
their 12th defeat in their last 13
games in Houston.
