Randolph had a 7-0 run in the third period to regain the lead and held a 33-31 advantage to start the fourth quarter. Another pair of 3-pointers by Voigt in successive possessions gave the Blazers a short-lived lead with 3:44 to play in the game. However, the Rockets scored the final seven points of game t
Kyle Roberts led the Rockets with 13 points and nine rebounds. Others in double figures were Jay Peters and Aaron Retzlaff with 12 and 11 points, respectively. The Blazers were led by Voigt with 14 points.
