imagine for a minute that you are the Chicago Bulls, in houston to face the red-hot Rockets (winners of 11 straight)... imagine that you find out you will have less turnovers (15 v. 16) and more points in the paint (36 v. 34) than the other team, PLUS you will MURDER them in fast break points (20-5!)... you'd be happy right? don't dance that jigg YET youngster, 'cause you're still gonna lose!that was the story last night. all that hustle might have lead to a Bulls victory, if not for the three point line. the rockets shot 54.8% from deep (v. a sad-faced 30.8 for los torros), finding the hole from long range 13 times. 7 rockets scored in double figures, lead by Tracy McGrady's 21 points and 8 assists. i admit it in advance: Tracy's 21 points, 4.8 boards and 5 dimes a game should have gotten him on my gM MVP ballot!
leave comments voting for T Mac and i'll include 'em in the final tally! anyways, the Bulls went down 110-97 in H town, and the Rockets have officially won 12 straight, the longest streak since these Rockets won the title during Jordan's first retirement.
