Regular Season Round 53: Houston R. - Memphis G. 103-87

Date: December 17, 2010
The Houston Rockets needed a lift after learning that Yao Ming was lost for the season. They found it against the Memphis Grizzlies, with Kevin Martin scoring 34 points to lead Houston to a 103-87 win Friday night. It was a positive end to a day where they learned their star center would miss the rest of 2010-2011 because of a stress fracture in his left ankle. "We have to keep going," Luis Scola said. "Yao is not here and some way we have got to move on. This is our job and we have to try to win games." The Rockets have won seven straight overall against the Grizzlies and nine in a row over Memphis at home. Martin scored 20 points in the first quarter alone, staking Houston to a 34-13 lead. The Grizzlies, who entered the game with a four-game winning streak, never got closer than 16 points after that. "It was a perfect first quarter," Houston coach Rick Adelman said. "Obviously we were very good. They missed a lot of shots and ... we didn't give them second shots." Rudy Gay and Sam Young scored 19 points each to lead the Grizzlies, but Gay was ejected for a flagrant foul with about six minutes remaining. The Grizzlies haven't won in Houston since April 2006 and Houston's last seven wins over the Rockets have all been by at least 10 points. *Courtesy of www.ksl.com
