Will the Streak Stay Alive

The Houston Rockets have a 22 game winning streak, and have been playing their best basketball, since Yao Ming left the team with an injury. Tonight the Rockets will face the best team in the NBA, the Boston Celtics. It looks as though Boston is the under dog in this game. The big three is down to two due to a left ankle injury that will sideline Ray Allen for most likely his third game in a row, if he chooses to rest. The Rockets on the other hand are poised to make it 23. Their three point shooting has been looking better than ever, thanks to Rafer Alston, who put up 8 three pointers last game. Shane Battier has been playing some solid defense and has shot 39 percent from the three point line. Also Luis Scola has been grabbing a lot of rebounds in place of Yao. It looks as though Houston has the upper hand in this game.
