SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Tracy McGrady snapped out of his fourth-quarter slump and scored seven of his 27 points in the final period to lead Houston to a 94-92 victory over Utah on Thursday night, giving the Rockets life in a series that could have been headed for a sweep.

Rafer Alston added 20 points and five assists in his first game in nearly two weeks as Houston avoided falling behind 3-0 in the series by beating the team that had the best home record in the NBA during the regular season. Game 4 is Saturday back in Utah, where the Jazz were 37-4 this season.

Carl Landry had 11 rebounds and blocked Deron Williams' shot that could have won it for the Jazz just before the buzzer.

Williams had 28 points and 12 assists.
