It's a tough game, but they made it. The Houston Rockets struggled to beat the Atlanta Hawks 83-75 on Wednesday night.
The Houston Rockets became the third team in NBA history to win 20 consecutive games after beating the Hawks. It was "ugly," they said later, but they still loved it.
Besides the Rockets, the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers (33 straight) and the 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks (20) are the only teams to win 20 or more in a row.
Tracy McGrady lead the Rockets with 28 points and Shane Battier had 15 points.
Joe Johnson of the Hawks also scored 28 points but failed to lead the team to victory. Josh Smith had 16 points and a career-high 22 rebounds.
