Andre Kirilenko easily had his best game of the first round with 14 points and five blocks to lead the Utah Jazz to a 94-82 victory over the Rockets on Thursday night, tying the series and forcing a Game 7 Saturday in Houston.

"We kept it alive," said Kirilenko, who hadn't scored more than eight in the first five games. "I think it's a great performance by everybody."

Carlos Boozer scored 22 and Mehmet Okur added 19 points as he finally started hitting his 3-point shots, making four and matching his total for the first five games.

"I don't give up. If I'm open I'm going to take it," Okur said.

"It was right there for us, man. Down to one point," McGrady said. "We put ourselves in great position to pull this game out, but things went the other direction."
