    McGrady struggled in the first half, shooting just 1-for-9.

    Yao scored 10 points in the first 8 minutes of the game to help the Rockets take the lead for good. His dunk on a fast break tied the game for the final time at 13-13, and his free throw 15 seconds later gave Houston a One-point lead.
    Yao keyed an 11-2 run that gave the Rockets a 22-15 lead with 2:44 left in the first period.
    Houston led by as many as 14 in the second quarter, thanks to two 3-pointers from rookie guard Luther Head. Although McGrady struggled in the first half, Yao had 12 points and Head nine to help the Rockets take a 48-36 lead at the break.
    McGrady made his first three shots in the third quarter, helping the Rockets to push the lead to 54- 37 with 9..29 left in the period.
