The Portland Trail Blazers meet the Houston Rockets in a pivotal playoff game that will be FREE Live Streaming Online from the Toyota Center at 9:30 PM ET

The Rockets remain confident they can rebound from a 3-1 deficit in their first-round playoff series with the Trail Blazers.

"You focus just on the one game (Wednesday) and shift the game back to Portland (and) there will be tremendous pressure on the Portland team," Akeem Olajuwon, the former Rocket, said. "You have no choice right now. You've got to focus."

Despite their pep talk, the Rockets aren't sugar-coating their situation.

"It's desperation time," Chandler Parsons said. "We don't want our season to end and if we lose that's going to happen. All of our backs are against the wall and we've just got to be a resilient team."

Harden scored 37 points in Houston's lone victory, but has struggled against the Blazers, making just 36 of 103 shots combined in the four games.

Howard said the Rockets are focused on finding a way to finish better.

"We've got to go from playing good for 44 minutes to playing for all 48," he said. "If we do that, then we'll turn this series around."

The Trail Blazers have lost in the first round in their last six trips to the playoffs. A win Wednesday would put them in the second round for the first time since losing in the Western Conference finals in 2000.

Houston point guard Patrick Beverley missed practice on Tuesday with an illness and has been struggling with a knee problem since banging into Aldridge late in Game 1, but McHale expects him to be ready for Game 5.

"I have been concerned about Pat between his knee and not feeling well and everything else," McHale said. "He is going to have to show up and play."
