HOUSTON -- Tracy McGrady did everything that he could to change a decade's worth of postseason history.
The Rockets' seven-time All-Star drove hard to the basket throughout the second half. He got his teammates involved by dishing out assists. And, for good measure, he even swatted three shots.
"I tried my best," McGrady said. "I tried."
McGrady, however, couldn't change the franchise's recent playoff history. Or his own.
Despite another solid all-around performance, McGrady came up short in his self-proclaimed quest to lead the Rockets on a deep playoff run thanks to Saturday's 103-99 loss to the Utah Jazz in Game 7 of their first round series.
The setback left the Rockets without a playoff series victory since 1997 and McGrady dropped to 0-for-6 in the first round during his decade-long career.
