After falling behind by more than 20 points in the second half, the Trail Blazers put together a spirited comeback that fell just short. Portland cut the Houston lead to just two points in the game's final minute. But when they needed big shots, the Rockets got them from their stars Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming and some clutch free throws from Rafer Alston

McGrady was shook up in the game's final minute as Brandon Roy fell on his extended knee. McGrady got up under his own power after spending some time spread out on the court. He finished with a game-high 32 points.

Yao Ming had 27 to go along with 12 rebounds.

Portland, when things were looking bleak, refused to give up and showed, once again, that they are a team with tons of heart and passion for this game.

Brandon Roy once again led the Trail Blazers with 20 points. He also added five rebounds and six assists.

Fred Jones had his best game to date in a Trail Blazer uniform, finishing with 18 points.

But in the end, the Trail Blazers fall 99-95.
