Rockets 93, Lakers 89
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Houston Rockets have been patiently waiting for Yao Ming to display the talents of a first overall draft choice.
The 7-foot-6 Chinese import did just that in the eighth game of his career -- and against the three-time defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers, no less.
Yao shot 9-for-9 in scoring a career-high 20 points in 23 minutes, and also had six rebounds Sunday night to help the Rockets beat the Lakers 93-89.

(ok, so otherwise he was just suppose to go out there and do his own thing?)

::sigh:: i wish i went to the game. :(


On another note:
sadness
A week after LaDainian Tomlinson questioned his team's desire following a fourth-quarter collapse in St. Louis, the Chargers rallied to beat the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in overtime Sunday.
Drew Brees got the Chargers into position and Steve Christie, one of the NFL's best clutch kickers, ended it with a 40-yard field goal with 4:11 left in the extra period.
Christie got his chance because San Francisco's Jose Cortez was wide right on a 41-yard attempt. It was Cortez's fourth miss in three weeks, including two in regulation at Oakland on Nov. 3 before he won that game in overtime with a 23-yarder.

(they need a new kicker....that's all i can say after watching the last two games)
