(ZT)AP对火箭和超音速比赛的回放。你们看看AP怎么说的（AP还是很客观

Playing for the second consecutive night in the middle of a six-game road trip, Tracy McGrady made it a point to get his teammates involved early. He took over late. McGrady scored 14 of his 34 points in the fourth quarter, 11 in the final 7 minutes, and the Houston Rockets won their fifth straight game, 104-98 over the Seattle SuperSonics on Thursday. McGrady made six 3-pointers, handed out eight assists and pulled down six rebounds for the Rockets. Oh, and he played all but 18 seconds, after playing nearly 46 minutes in Wednesday's overtime win at Golden State. "As a leader of the team, you have to set the tone right away," McGrady said. "When I see it's close and it's winnable for us, that's when my eyes light up. It's time to make plays and knock down shots. I live for these games." The Rockets are rolling since the return of McGrady, who missed eight losses because of back spasms. Houston has lost just once since his return and improved to 4-0 on its road trip. It was also Houston's first win after going 0-4 in the second of back-to-back games. Coach Jeff Van Gundy had a large graphic in the Rockets' locker room highlighting their shortcomings in back-to-back situations. Before Thursday, the Rockets were averaging only 82 points and shooting 38 percent in those games. Houston shot 52 percent and had 82 points with 8 minutes left. "We feel great," Van Gundy said. "The mental thing always put in their minds is that back-to-back is hard. It's not hard. They felt great. It's great to play." Yao Ming added 26 points and 10 rebounds, making 12 of 15 free throws. He hit his first four shots and was 7-for-10 from the field. Ray Allen scored 30 points but couldn't match McGrady in the closing moments as Seattle lost its fourth straight at home. It's the Sonics' longest home losing streak since the 2003-04 season. "It seems like we're just one or two plays away from breaking through," Allen said. "It's a great challenge trying to figure it out." Seattle held an 88-84 lead with less than 6 minutes left. Yao was called for an offensive foul on Danny Fortson and was given a technical for slamming the ball. Allen's free throw put Seattle up by four. McGrady then took over as Houston scored nine of the next 11 points. He made two 3-pointers, a free throw and assisted on Yao's layup that put Houston ahead 93-90. Fortson, Yao and Allen all made free throws, leaving the Rockets up 95-94 with 1:47 left. McGrady then drilled a 3-pointer over Vladimir Radmanovic with 1 second on the shot clock and 1:13 left. Allen scored and Yao made two free throws with 34.7 seconds to go, putting Houston up 100-96. Allen missed a driving layup against Yao, who got the rebound and was fouled. He made the shots, putting the capper on the victory. "We're playing better because McGrady and Yao, and our team defense, and timely contributions by everybody," Van Gundy said. "We're a better team now than we were three weeks ago." Juwan Howard had 16 points and Stromile Swift added 12, 10 in the first half, for the Rockets, who won despite being outrebounded 43-32 and giving up 22 second-chance points. A night earlier, Houston outrebounded Golden State 61-32. Rashard Lewis had 15 points for Seattle. Luke Ridnour added 14 and Reggie Evans scored 13. Houston started the fourth quarter by taking its largest lead to that point -- 75-71 -- on a pair of free throws from Swift. Seattle responded with a jumper by Radmanovic and a 3-pointer by Allen to take a 76-75 advantage. The lead was short-lived. McGrady scored three points before Moochie Norris converted a three-point play and followed with another layup -- both times beating Ronald Murray -- to put the Rockets up 83-76 with 8:08 left.
