2/11/05, FRIDAY - The Rockets started and ended slowly in Indiana on Friday night, but in between they scored enough points to win their fourth road game in a row, 91-83, the longest win streak they have had on the road in almost 5 years. It was also their sixth win in a row, the longest current win streak in the league.
The Rockets quickly fell behind 8-0 and missed their first eight shots. But they recovered and got back into the game by scoring 7 straight points. In addition, Yao was the brunt of Houston’s attack, scoring 11 straight points on an incredible array of shots around the rim, hitting 5-of-7.
The Rockets took the lead for the first time with 2.2 seconds remaining in the first quarter when Ryan Bowen — of all people — hit a three-pointer from the corner to put Houston up 29-28. Man, it looks like everyone on this squad is hitting the three-ball lately.
