Rockets star Tracy McGrady, shrugging off his latest absence from back-related problems, was named the Western Conference's player of the week on Monday after lifting Houston to three straight wins.
The seven-time All-Star averaged 28.0 points, 7.2 assists, 6.7 rebounds and 3.0 steals over a three-game stretch. He netted 32 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in a win over Seattle and carried the Rockets down the stretch against New Orleans/Oklahoma City with 25 points and 10 assists.
The performances lifted the Rockets to a 3-0 record over the week and put the team in a position to gain home-court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs.
