Rockets 106 Utah 95

[Bull's-eye]

T-Mac scores 47 points as the Rockets remain perfect in their first 2 games. The improved play of the Rocket's bench has been key in their first 2 victories. Mike James had 15 points off the bench and PF Louis Scola pulled down 9 boards. Rockets will play Portland on saturday, followed by back-to-back games with Dallas & SA .

[HEMOTOXIC]

Looked okay at times...Still lacking that killer instict that they will need if they want to win a championship. They still are in the habit of letting teams back into games. If they work on that and getting all their players on the same page (Francis in shape and Yao learning to play better defense), they will be a contender to come out of the West this year.
