Rockets' Clint Capela improving after battle with virus

After the symptoms of Clint Capela's virus got progressively worse through the first four games of the first-round series against the Jazz, he said Monday that he has made progress since struggling through Game 4 on Monday in Salt Lake City.

"I've been having two types of respiratory illness," Capela said before Wednesday's Game 5. "It's been a tough week for me, especially recovery wise, even during the games. Up and down the court was kind of hard for me. But I've started feeling better. I saw the doctor, and he said it's going the right way now.
