WOW

The Portland Trail Blazers' 101-99 overtime victory over the Houston Rockets featured three dramatic shots in the final 1.9 seconds. Brandon Roy first hit a turnaround 21-footer that put the Blazers up 98-96. But Yao Ming scored and drew a foul against Roy on the other end with 0.8 seconds left, then made the free throw to give Houston the lead. Portland called time out and the inbounds play went to Roy, who swished a 30-foot winning jumper as time expired.
