NBA Wrap: Rockets lose Yao but still with 13th straight
Rockets 94 – Wizards 69
So yesterday the Rockets got the devastating news that their star Yao Ming would be out for the rest of the season and they were doing so well too. I’m starting to think that someone must have put a hex on them.
Last nights game was their first game Yao-less but they didn’t need him to beatdown the Wizards at home last night 94-69.
Luther Head led the way for the Rockets by scoring 18 points. Luis Scola had 14 points, Rafer Alston had 13 points and Tracy McGrady had 11.
