The Rockets were leading this game 66-49 at halftime and they never let up last night. Tracy McGrady led the way for the Rockets with 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Rafer Alston did a good job of running the offense as he finished with 21 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. Luther Head was outstanding off the bench as he finished with 14 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. The Rockets are now 40-20 on the season.

The Rockets won their 15th game in a row last night with a solid all-around effort. Tracy McGrady led the way for the Rockets with 22 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. Shane Battier also had a solid game as he finished up with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Luis Scola had another impressive effort as he finished up with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists. The Rockets are now 39-20 on the season.

The Rockets drafted Carl Landry and Aaron Brooks but stealing Luis Scola from the Spurs is what’s making the front office smile the most. Scola has played in 58 games (15 starts) this season for the Rockets and he is averaging 22.1 minutes, 9.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He is a good shooter from the floor hitting 53% but he’s only making 61.9% of his free throws. Look for Scola’s numbers to improve big-time now that he’s in the starting lineup. Carl Landry has also been quite a find for the Rockets. He has played in 25 games (0 starts) this season for the Rockets and he is averaging 15.8 minutes, 7.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. He is shooting better from the floor (64.2%) than the free throw line (62.9%) and that’s pretty odd. Look for Landry to get more playing time to make up for the loss of Yao Ming to injury. Aaron Brooks has been buried on the depth chart of the Rockets but they really like him. Brooks has played in 37 games (0 starts) this season for the Rockets and he is averaging 11.7 minutes, 4.5 points, 1.0 rebound and 1.6 assists per game. His shooting is a little off from the floor (38%) but he’s hitting 84% from the free throw line. Look for Brooks’ shooting % to go up when he starts getting more playing time in the future.

The Rockets shot 50.6% from the floor and they outrebounded the Grizzlies 53-40 which explains the ease of victory on Friday Night. Tracy McGrady led the way for the Rockets with 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocked shots. Luis Scola was an energy ball in this game as he finished with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 steals. Luther Head was only 3 of 11 shooting from the floor but he still finished with 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Carl Landry had another solid game as he finished up with 15 points and 3 rebounds in only 16 minutes. The Rockets are now 38-20 on the season.
