Rockets Edge Bulls In Late Comeback To Reach 100 Points
The Rockets built a 37-30 lead behind strong early shooting and a late first half surge by Yao Ming. Houston stretched the advantage to 12-2 to start the third, with Tracy McGrady delivering a banked-in 3 and a celebratory moment beside owner Les Alexander. Chicago, led by Gordon’s late surge, again trimmed the gap but Ben Wallace’s biceps injury and Adrian Griffin’s calf strain dotted the game. The Rockets improved to 33-3 when reaching 100 points under Jeff Van Gundy.
