SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Ever since a rookie
named Akeem sucker-punched Jazz center Bil
ly Paultz in 1985, the playoff rivalry between
Utah and Houston has been memorable.
“We know these guys pretty well,” Jazz guard
Jeff Hornacek said. “It gets to the point where you
almost expect to play the Rockets every year.”
Utah and Houston are meeting in the play
offs for the fourth time in five seasons, l^ast
year, the Jazz beat the Rockets in six games to
win their first Western Conference title.
As the teams prepare for Thursday’s Game
1, however, the focus is less on history and
more on the future.
“We had a really good regular season, but
everything starts over right now," Hornacek said.
“We knocked Houston out last year, so they’ve got
even more incentive to come after us this year.”
Hakeem Olajuwon’s youthful indiscretion
was just the first chapter in this rivalry’s bitter
history. The Rockets beat the Jazz on the way
to each of their recent NBA titles, and last
year Charles Barkley sparked controversy by
admitting that he was trying to injure John
Stockton while setting a pick.
“They’re probably our biggest rival within
mom
