Losing Yao with a fractured bone under his right knee is a shocking blow to this team.  He went down after playing only 6 minutes on Saturday and he will now miss at least the next 6 weeks.  Shane Battier really stepped up in this game as he scored 28 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.  Luther Head added 22 points.  Rafer Alston had a solid game with 21 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

The Rockets fell to 16-11 on the season with this loss.
