GAME NOTES: This is the first playoff game for the Jazz since 2003, when they were eliminated in the first round by Sacramento. ... It's the first since 2005 for Houston, which hasn't won a playoff series since 1997 — the same year Utah beat the Rockets in the Western Conference finals. ... The Jazz won this year's regular-season series with Houston 3-1, and have not lost a regular-season series with the Rockets since 1992-93.
