CHARLOTTE, Dec. 8 (AP) -- One week of smothering, record-setting defense has left Tracy McGrady convinced that's what will carry the Houston Rockets.
McGrady scored 23 points, Yao Ming added 21 and the Rockets allowed the fewest points in franchise history in a 92-62 victory over Charlotte on Friday night.
Houston allowed one fewer point than it did a week ago in a win over Cleveland and held the Bobcats to a franchise-worst 28 percent shooting.
"It's just shows what type of team we can be if we bring that type of approach every night,'' McGrady said. "You just don't have it offensively some nights. But from a defensive standpoint we can definitely be great night in and night out.''
