T-Mac lead Houston Win Over Phoenix

Houston Rockets win over Phoenix Suns 120-117 on Monday Night.
Tracy McGrady wrote down 39 points as the Rockets won their fifth straight and clinched home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
Houston also snapped a six-game losing streak to Phoenix and secured its best record since 1997.
The Rockets will open the playoffs at home against Utah next weekend. McGrady has never won a playoff series in five tries, but his team will have the extra home game for the first time.
McGrady also had 11 rebounds and 9 assists, and Yao Ming added 34 points and nine rebounds. When the final buzzer sounded, the rockets celebrated in midcourt whereas the crowd of the capacity was stood and roared.
After the celebration, McGrady reflected in the season that began with a repetition of his back problems. He missed seven games in December, later returned moments before Yao broke the right leg. Yao missed 32 games, but McGrady helped the rockets to 20-12 record without Yao.
