Even though Houston's Yao Ming is out for the season with a stress fracture in his left foot, the Washington Wizards still had their hands full on Tuesday night against the Houston Rockets, who have won 12 consecutive games including a 110-97 win over the Chicago Bulls. However, the Wizards proved no match against the streaking Rockets, who took the game 94-64.

Houston started Dikembe Mutombo in place of Ming, but also utilized the 6-foot-9 Carl Landry, who earned 12 points.

The Wizards were in big trouble by the first half with a franchise-low 23 points. Down by 28 points at half time, the deficit was just too large to pull themselves out of.
