In their first game without Yao Ming, Luther Head had 18 points to lead the Rockets to a 94-69 win over the Washington Wizards in Houston on Tuesday night for their 13th straight victory.
The Rockets didn’t seem to miss their All-Star center, jumping to a 7-0 lead and never trailing as they coasted to their 17th win in the last 18 games. The streak is their longest since their championship season of 1993-94, and the longest active streak in the NBA.
Houston started 41-year-old Dikembe Mutombo in place of Yao, but also used the 6-foot-9 Carl Landry in the spot. Landry finished with 12 points.
Tracy McGrady was ineffective for the first three quarters, going 2-of-11 with six points
