Warriors Can't Slow Rockets

HOUSTON (AP) --- Rookie Luther Head scored 12 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter as the Rockets defeated the Warriors; 98-87.

He added 2 steals.

"I'm really happy to be in this team", he said. "I'm fitting in Jeff's system really well."

And that's true. Jason Richardson, with 33 points and 9 rebounds, completely turned David Wesley off. Wesley scored 14 points, but all over Derek Fisher, who didn't score.

"Luther is having an outstanding recovery," Van Gundy said.

Yao Ming added 21 points and 10 rebounds. Tracy McGrady had 19-6.

Reggie Evans discovered his game again: 12 points and 15 rebounds.

Thanks for the comments guys By the way, did you see any detail change in the screenshots? Because I had to desinstall the game (dunno what was the problem, of course made a backup this time), and I had to turn the lighting off. But I don't see any difference, personally.

Warriors Slow Yao; T-Mac Steps Up

HOUSTON (AP) --- Yao Ming only scored 6 points but Tracy McGrady posted 42-8-7 to lead the Rockets to their 11st win in 13 games, over Golden State.

David Wesley added 14 points.

McGrady scored 15 of his 42 points in the last quarter, just when the Warriors were making a 11-point comeback.

"Well, when we had 5:00 in the clock, I thought 'I made a lot of baskets, I should be in the 29-32 points.' When I looked at the scoreboard, it said 40, couldn't believe it," McGrady said.

"Tracy was outstanding today," Jeff Van Gundy said. "Can't ask him anything else. He stepped up when the team needed it, when Adonal (Foyle) was doing a good job over Yao."

Adonal Foyle made a double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Jason Richardson had 20 points and 5 rebounds.

Baron Davis was limited to 12 points (but 10 assists) by Bob Sura (11).

Bucks Request Waivers On Booth

Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks have requested waivers on center Calvin Booth. Booth will be designated as the team’s amnesty player as allowed under the new collective bargaining agreement.

The amnesty provision allows a team to release a player and remove his contract amount from the team’s salary cap for purposes of calculating the luxury tax. The Bucks will be responsible for the remaining years of Booth’s contract and he is free to sign with another team.

Booth was acquired by Milwaukee on February 24, 2005, along with Alan Henderson and an undisclosed amount of cash from Dallas in exchange for Keith Van Horn. The 29-year-old appeared in 17 games with the Bucks last season, averaging 2.5 points and 2.9 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game.

In six NBA seasons, Booth has averaged 4.1 points and 3.3 rebounds in 250 career games.

The Bucks are 5-7 (.417; 4th in Central, 10th in Western Conference).

Nets Waive Mercer

New Jersey Nets

The Nets have waived guard Ron Mercer. The team also announced that Mercer will be designated as the team’s amnesty player as allowed in the new collective bargaining agreement.

Signed as a free agent on August 12, 2004, the 29-year old Mercer appeared in 18 games for the Nets last season, averaging 7.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and just over one assist per game.

He missed a total of 63 games due to injury, which included 42 games due to a left knee injury, for which he had arthroscopic surgery on November 15, 2004. Mercer missed the final 20 games of the season with a lower back strain.

Nets are 8-5 (.615; 2nd in Atlantic, 4th in Eastern Conference).
