Houston at Utah

The Utah Jazz evened the series at 1-1 with top seeded Houston, and head home for Game 3 now having the home court advantage in what has been reduced to a best of five series. The Rockets have just 17 losses on the season and last lost two in a row all the way back to January 6th of this year. They have taken eight in a row after a loss by a combined total of 105 points, or by over 13 points per game. It is with a great deal of certainty that they come out hard, strong, and focused for Game 3. Utah is still with out Ricky Rubio, and while that did not have a lot of impact on Game 2 because the Jazz shot 52% and 47% from the arc, making 15, the Rockets shot just 27% from beyond the arc, and 40% for the game. Look for those numbers to switch around in Game 3, as Houston reclaims home court advantage and takes the series lead. Lay the points on Houston.
