Houston lost after winning 22 straight games

The streak is over for Houston Rockets. Won 22 straight games, the second best record in the NBA history, broken by the best team of the season: Boston Celtics.

94-74 was the final result. The Rockets fell again after they did at Utah Jazz January 27.

"We have something to tell our children," said Rafer Alston at the end of the meeting. And no wonder. "Our names will be mentioned in the Hall of Fame.

In the other game this season also lost to the Celtics. At that time Tracy McGrady had to leave the bench because of a knee injury. Now the missing was Yao Ming. It is the first game the Rockets lost since his injury.

The tough defense with the Rockets counter its deficit-throw percentage and no attack errors this time served for the win at the Toyota Center.

"I'll think about it when I get old and can not play basketball. Now just think we're in the race for the playoffs and we have to keep winning, "Shane Battier said.

Tracy McGrady said the NBA is in danger if he keeps playing defense like they play the Celtics.
