Houston didn't really need their all star guard Tracy McGrady last night to win. It's a good thing too because not long after the game, T-Mac was resting drinking some chicken noodle soup. They handled the Cavs 92-77 last night.
The sick and sluggish McGrady only scored 8 points on 3-11 shooting. Yao Ming and Rafer Alston picked up the slack for him though. Yao finished with 22 points and 12 boards and Rafer had 17 points and 9 assists.
The Cavs really missed Drew Gooden, their second leading rebounder. They completly got outworked on the boards. The rebound totals for the game was 55-35 in favor of the Rockets. Drew Gooden was out of the game with a groin injury.
The Rockets also didn't let the Cavs get anything going offensively. LeBron finished going 12-23 from the field but the rest of the team was 19-55. Owned.
