The Rockets were on a historic 21-game winning streak going into today. Many thought it would end against the Lakers, but they kept it going even with an off-game from McGrady (11 points). I guess when a team has won that many in a row, they just forget how to lose. Alston and Head came up big in this game. Scola and Motumbo made some great defensive plays, limiting Bryant to 24 and shutting down the rest of the team. At the beginning of the year, I thought Francis would be the missing piece to this team because he was supposed to fill a weak point guard position, but Alston really stepped up and improved this year. He deserves the starting role. So the streak stayed alive today at 22, the 2nd longest streak in NBA history. On top of that, they now have sole possession of the best record in the West. The most amazing thing about the streak is Yao was only available for the first half of it. The Lakers were left baffled and Bryant teary-eyed... beautiful! I love it! Go Rockets!
