    I was browsing random Rockets videos like a true fan would do and I came across this game, opening night of the '85-'86 season (when we went to the Finals) and just so happened to be against the Jazz, and the very first game Karl Malone ever played in.

    What I found very interesting about this game was that legendary Radio voice Gene Peterson was calling the game for TV, with Bill Worrell doing color. When did this ever happen? I mean obviously here but I always thought Gene was strictly on Radio with Jim Foley and Bill covered TV as lead analyst. Some of you old timers remember games like this?

    Edit: This MIGHT be a radio call superimposed over video footage, of which the footage has no text whatsoever, not even scores.
