The Houston Rockets needed two overtimes to take a tight victory over the Utah Jazz. Houston for most of the game, but conceded their advantage in the final stanza and had to fight hard for the final win.

The Rockets got off to a dream start, taking a 10 point lead in the first quarter.
Yao Ming extended that lead for Houston to 15-points before the break.
The home side kept control of the game going into the final quarter with this three pointer from Ron Artest.
Utah bounced back in frenzied fashion and consecutive shots helped them tie the game to force overtime.
In the second overtime, Artest would burst out, capping 10 points in the last four minutes. His efforts gave the Rockets a tense 120-115 victory.
