Tracy McGrady scored 36, but struggled down the stretch. Yao Ming had 20 points on just 7 shot attempts, as the Rockets couldn't get him the ball enough in the 4th quarter.

Van Horn Doubtful For The Remainder Of The Series

Keith Van Horn left the game with what was being termed a bad ankle sprain and is doubtful for Game 4. Van Horn was having a solid start with four points in seven minutes. But his first rebound sent him to the locker room.

He came down on Dikembe Mutombo's foot, spraining his left ankle. Van Horn did not return, although X-rays were negative.

Van Horn scored just 4 points in 7 minutes on Thursday.
