The Rockets are attempting to avoid being eliminated from the playoffs Friday night, after losing to the Trail Blazers by a score of 108-98 on Wednesday in Game 5. Dwight Howard had 28 points in another losing effort for the Rockets.

Now that the Rockets are in a win or go home situation, they must win two games in a row in order to advance to the second round.

"I don't want to go on vacation," said Dwight Howard to reporters. "I want to win. I want to give everything I've got. Every night, put my heart into it and sacrifice my body and do whatever I can to help this team win. It's not going to be easy."

The Trail Blazers meanwhile will be looking to wrap up the first round series. In Game 5, Wesley Matthews had a terrific game, scoring 27 points to propel the Trail Blazers to the victory.

The Trail Blazers currently have only one NBA title back in 1977 and they will be desperate to push on this postseason and stun the NBA world by winning a second title.

"I think we may have underestimated how desperate they were going to come out," said Trail Blazers player Robin Lopez to reporters. "I'm excited for Game 6 and I know that they will come out with a greater level of intensity and confidence and we will have to try and match it, overcome it."
