Aaron Brooks Shows Mad Skills Now At Starting PG
The Dallas Mavericks faced off against the McGrady-less Houston Rockets on Friday night. Tracy supposedly will miss the remainder of the season due to his knee. This is really a big blow to the Houston team who had high hopes coming into the season with the pickup of Ron Artest.
A few days back Rafer Austin was sent to the Orlando Magic and the young Aaron Brooks picked up the starting role at the PG position. He really showcased his talents in this game scoring 19 points with 8 assists, and knocking down two crucial 3’s in the final minutes of the game that propelled the Rockets to victory with the final score ending at 93-86.
The top three scorers for the Rockets were Yao Ming with 22 points, Aaron Brooks with 19 points and Ron Artest with 17 points. It is unknown how well the Rockets will fair without McGrady and Austin. Either way they looked very good in this game and improved their record this season to 34 wins and 21 losses.
