Streaking Rockets defeat Bulls 105-92 Tracy McGrady scored 24 points and Yao Ming added 21 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Houston Rockets to a 105-92 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.
Chicago got within 86-77 after a basket by Ben Gordon with 7:45 remaining, but that's the closest the Bulls would get.
The Rockets went on an 11-0 run in the next two minutes to stretch the lead to 97-77, their biggest of the game.
Chicago, which entered the game averaging 44 percent from the field, shot just 37 percent. It's the first time in nine games that Houston has held an opponent to under 40 percent shooting.
Chicago got 16 points from Kirk Hinrich and Tyson Chandler added 12 points and had 20 rebounds.
A night after scoring 30 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in a win over Dallas, Luol Deng managed just seven points and three boards.
McGrady was just 7-of-17 from the field, but was 9-of-12 from the line and had nine assists.
Wesley scored 13, Juwan Howard had 12 and Bob Sura added 10 as the Rockets reach 100 points for the fourth straight game.
The Rockets trailed 29-28 after the first quarter, but outscored Chicago 15-0 in the first 6 minutes of the second, fueled by 3-pointers by David Wesley and Jon Barry. It was a lead the Rockets would not relinquish.
