12/02/06 Cleveland 63, Houston 81
HOUSTON (AP) -LeBron James watched another open shot clang off the rim, then screamed as he turned and trotted down the court.
Yao Ming scored 24 points and the Houston Rockets overcame a mild concussion to Tracy McGrady to beat the cold-shooting Cavs 81-63 on Saturday night.
James scored 21, but was 7-for-22 from the field. Cleveland shot 28 percent (22-for-78) as a team, flirting with its all-time worst shooting performance (23.8 percent), set in 1970.
The Cavaliers, meanwhile, failed to reach 20 points in any quarter. They mustered a meager 10 in the second quarter after missing their last 14 shots of the first half.
Notes: The Cavaliers' 29 first-half points were a season low. ... The Rockets improved to 7-1 at home. Last season, they didn't get their seventh home win until Feb. 12. ... Cleveland dropped to 4-1 against the Western Conference. Coming into the game, the Cavs were the last team from the East without a loss to the West. ... The Rockets improved to 9-1 when Yao leads them in scoring.
