HOUSTON (AP)?Houston won its first game without Yao Ming, now the Rockets will try and keep it up as they fight for a playoff spot in the ultra-competitive Western Conference.
Houston?s 94-69 win over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night was its 13th straight victory, but the team remains in seventh place in the West.
Yao is out for the season with a stress fracture in his left foot and is in the process of seeking a second opinion on whether to have it surgically repaired. If he chooses surgery, team doctor Tom Clanton said, it would involve placing screws across the bone to hold it together. The second option would be to treat it with a cast and crutches. Both options involve a healing time of about four months.
