The Rockets fell behind 61-49 in the first half and they couldn’t recover all of the way. It didn’t help that they only shot 35.3% from the floor or that T-Mac only scored 9 points in 19 minutes before leaving the game with an injury. Yao had a horrible shooting night (6 for 18) but he still finished with 26 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. Bonzi Wells stuffed the stat sheet with T-Mac out as he scored 21 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, dished out 2 assists, stole the ball 2 times and blocked 3 shots. Rafer Alston started at the point and he scored 11 points, grabbed 2 rebounds and dished out 7 assists. The Rockets are now 6-3 on the season.
