McGrady aims to win first playoff series (AP)
Published 4/18/2008 at Yahoo! Sports - NBA News

Utah's victory over Houston in seven games last year left him in tears. Now, he's back again, and facing a familiar foe. The Rockets open a first-round series against those same Jazz in Houston on Saturday night.
