Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio knows that no team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs.
The Jazz are currently down 3-0 to the Houston Rockets. Game 5 is on Wednesday in Houston and the Rockets are heavy favorites to win.
Rubio says the Jazz have heart and it's not in the team's nature to just fold and accept a loss. The veteran guard says jumping on a plane to Houston with the mindset of losing wouldn't make any sense, which is why he believes the Jazz can come back from being down 3-0 and make NBA history.

If Utah can win Game 5, doubt will start to creep into the minds of the Rockets. Game 6 would be in Utah and the Jazz would have all the confidence in the world going back home. If there is a Game 7, anything can happen in the NBA.
However, Rubio and the Jazz first have to win Game 5 in Houston. It won't be an easy task either. The Rockets blew out the Jazz in Games 1 and 2 at home, with superstar James Harden scoring 29 and 32 points, respectively.
Rubio and the rest of his Utah teammates have to take it one game at a time.
