Kyle Lowry was looking forward to a good night's sleep after the best game of his career and a draining week for the Houston Rockets. Lowry had 28 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Houston's first triple-double of the season, and the first of his career, and the Rockets moved past Utah in the Western Conference standings with a 110-108 victory over the Jazz on Sunday night. Lowry set a career high in rebounds, and helped the Rockets inch closer to playoff contention in the Western Conference. Houston is now ninth in the Western Conference, a half-game ahead of the Jazz and Phoenix and 1½ games behind Memphis for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West. "The intensity of that game was very competitive," Lowry said. "No one wanted to give in." Houston has won four home games in the last seven days, and Rockets coach Rick Adelman is giving his team an off day on Monday. "I can't wait," Lowry said. "I might sleep til 9:30 a.m. Every game has been tough for us -- playing, practicing, playing, practicing. It gets to you after a little while, but it's been a good stretch for us."
