Last Game Knicks cam out and dropped in a whopping 15 PTS in the 1st...
seems like that is going to happen again.. HOUSTON has shown recently, that it can really play ball and drop in 120+ when it wants to.. i feel some of that today.. at least 1st Half..
Houston has been playing better recently, although it lost 94-87 to Boston on Friday. The Rockets won their previous four games, averaging 111.0 points, but they shot 39.5 percent against the Celtics and leading scorer Aaron Brooks was held to 10 points on 4-of-12 shooting.
Brooks scored 31 points in each of the previous two games.
Despite McGrady struggling and David Lee (knee) and Wilson Chandler (groin) sitting out, the Knicks won for the third time in four games. They shot 36.8 percent and scored 15 points in the first and third quarters, but received a lift from rookie Toney Douglas, who scored 22.
Douglas has averaged 18.6 points in the last five games, starting the last four.
What a disaster of 9 minutes for the Rockets. Shoot 4-15 from the field, turn it over 3 times, send the Knicks to the line 8 times, and give up 4 off boards. Disgusting. Rockets now on the do not bet list.
