Trail Blazers-Rockets Preview

HOUSTON (AP) The Houston Rockets were happy simply to return to the playoffs last season.

A year later and with the addition of Dwight Howard, the Rockets are back in the postseason and looking to make some noise. They play Game 1 of their first-round series against Portland on Sunday night.

"Just being here is not good enough," said Chandler Parsons, who made his playoff debut last year. "We want to win and we want to contend for a championship and we want to be the last team standing."
