Houston Rockets' Tracy McGrady (1) pulls up for a jump shot as Yao Ming (11), of China, Washington Wizards' Caron Butler(3) and Gilbert Arenas¹ look on in the first quarter of their NBA basketball game, Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2006 in Houston.

Nov. 23 - Yao Ming had 25 points and 14 rebounds², Tracy McGrady added 13 points and 12 boards, and the Houston Rockets survived another fourth-quarter meltdown to beat the Washington Wizards 86-82 on Wednesday night.

Luther Head made three free throws in the final three seconds and scored 12 for the Rockets, who overcame 22 turnovers⁴ to drop Washington to 0-6 on the road this season.

Gilbert Arenas scored 26 and Caron Butler added 14 for the Wizards, who were doomed⁵ by poor shooting. Arenas, the league's fourth-leading scorer, went 8-for-26 from the field and Washington finished 28-for-84 (33 percent). The Rockets also had a 57-44 edge in rebounding⁶.

Still, the Rockets had to sweat out another finish. They'd been outscored in the final quarter of six of their first 11 games, and Arenas' 3-pointer with 5:43 left finished a 13-2 run that trimmed Houston's lead to 72-71.

The Rockets missed 11 of their first 14 shots of the fourth. The Wizards had seven chances to take the lead, but each possession ended with a turnover³ or another missed shot.

Arenas fouled⁷ Head on a 3-pointer with 2:33 left and Head sank all three free throws to put the Rockets up 75-71.

Arenas missed a bank shot at the other end before Head sank a 3-pointer from the corner to end Houston's 5 1/2-minute field-goal drought.

Butler and Arenas went 8-for-10 from the free throw line over the next minute and Washington trailed only 80-79 with 29 seconds left.

Alston swished a 3-pointer with 6 seconds left, but Arenas banked in a 3 with 3.8 seconds left to keep the Wizards within one.

Head sank a free throw with three seconds left, then rebounded⁸ his own miss, got fouled and sank two more to finally put away the game.

Houston reserve Vassilis Spanoulis sank a 3-pointer and scored on a driving one-hander in the final minute of an ugly first quarter to give the Rockets a 23-15 lead.

Washington missed 17 of 23 shots and was outrebounded 17-10 in the opening quarter.

McGrady drilled a 3-pointer 20 seconds into the second quarter to push Houston's lead into double digits⁹. Antonio Daniels and Arenas converted back-to-back three-point plays to trim the Rockets' lead to 31-24.

Yao started 1-for-5, then hit two turnaround jumpers in the last 90 seconds of the first half to carry the Rockets to a 40-28 lead at the break.

The Wizards finished the half a dismal¹⁰ 11-of-44 from the field (25 percent) and their 28 first-half points were a season low.

Washington hit five of its first eight shots of the second half to get within five. But Yao had found his range by then, too, and sank a pair of turnarounds to extend the lead to 51-40.

Yao had eight points in the third quarter and flipped¹¹ in a hook shot early in the fourth to give Houston a 68-56 lead.

But the Rockets went cold after that and Butler's emphatic¹² dunk over Yao with 9:03 left foreshadowed the rally to come.

But it fell short and Washington lost its fifth straight game to the Rockets in Houston.
