Led by newest member Tracy McGrady, Houston's reserves carried the Rockets to victory.

McGrady had 15 points, Carl Landry added 12 points and eight rebounds and the Rockets stopped the Portland Trail Blazers' home-winning streak with an 89-79 win Friday night.

"It's a great tribute to our group ... I think we've found ourselves." McGrady said.

Brandon Roy had 16 of his 23 points in the first half for the Blazers, who had won 12 straight at the Rose Garden. Portland made just seven of 30 shots (23.3 percent) in the second half.

Yao Ming started slowly for the Rockets but had 11 points and 10 rebounds for his 26th double-double of the season. Luis Scola had 11 points and 12 rebounds for Houston, which has won its last three and nine of 11.

See what happens when there's a nice balanced attack on the floor? They win games. Anybody think Houston is going to make the playoffs?

Most of the NBA makes the playoffs. They will make it as long as Yao can stay healthy.
