Houston almost blew one at Toyota Center tonight in double overtime against a very mediocre Detroit team. They were outhustled, outrebounded and just outplayed most of the night by the undermanned Pistons, who were without Rasheed Wallace, Rip Hamilton and Allen Iverson.
Detroit played Houston even in regulation and through the first overtime by fighting tooth and nail for every rebound and loose ball. They took the Rockets out of their game on both ends of the court. The Rockets point guard tag-team seemed unable to overcome such a swarming defense.
The second overtime proved the Pistons' undoing, however, as the overall talent of the Rockets finally shone through. Credit Aaron Brooks for a 3-point shot at the beginning of the second OT, followed immediately by an outstanding defensive play, getting the Rockets off to a good start in the period. Yao Ming showed his stuff as well, getting out of his sick bed to post 31 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocked shots.

My cable kept going out right at the end of the game. Very frustrating! Yao seems to be a very dedicated player and I enjoy watching him.
