Yao, McGrady look to lead Rockets to fourth straight win

Nov 13, 2007 - 3:29 PM Houston (6-1) at Memphis (1-4) 8:00 pm EST

MEMPHIS, Tennessee (Ticker) -- Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady certainly have been a formidable duo for the Houston Rockets this season.

Yao and McGrady look to lead the red-hot Rockets to their fourth straight win Tuesday when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies in a clash of Southwest Division foes.

The 7-6 Yao and the 6-8 McGrady both are among the top-10 scorers in the NBA and have combined to average 51.3 of Houston's 95.1 points per game.

The dynamic duo delivered once again Sunday, as Yao poured in a season-high 34 points and McGrady scored 12 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter of an 85-82 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.

Shane Battier grabbed 10 rebounds for the Rockets, who are off to their first 6-1 start since 1996-97.

Houston figures to have an easy time Tuesday with a Memphis squad which has had trouble holding onto the ball.

The Grizzlies' troubles continued in their last contest, committing 25 turnovers in a 118-94 setback to the Utah Jazz - their second consecutive loss.
