When Yao got hurt many thought the Rockets were done….but Dikembe Mutombo got off the bench and stepped up big-time for the Rockets. In his last 6 games, Mutombo is averaging 7.2 points, 13.0 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 2.0 blocked shots per game. Without Mutombo playing at the level he is the Rockets would have lost alot of games the last few weeks.
The Rockets were outscored 44-27 in the 4th quarter + the overtime period and that’s why they lost this game. T-Mac didn’t shoot well (9 of 25) but he still scored 24 points, grabbed 5 rebounds and dished out 10 assists. Juwan Howard also had a good game with 21 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Rockets were without Tracy McGrady (back) and that hurt them in this game. The Rockets only shot 39.3% from the floor and that was the main reason that they lost. Rafer Alston did everything he could to help the Rockets with 29 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists. Shane Battier (16 points, 7 rebounds) and Luther Head (16 points, 5 rebounds) each pitched in on offense but it wasn’t enough.

The Rockets were outscored 62-43 in the second half and they were out-rebounded 44-32 and those were two big keys in the Rockets defeat last night. Tracy McGrady was unstoppable last night as he rolled up 45 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Juwan Howard also had a decent game with 16 points and 6 rebounds. Rafer Alston added 12 points and 5 assists.

The Rockets need Bonzi Wells to get healthy and provide some firepower off the bench. The Rockets bench has been depleted due to injuries and Wells would definately help. He has played in only 11 games this season and has averaged 21.5 minutes, 6.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Wells needs to improve his shooting as he’s only hitting 39% from the floor.
