　　CLEVELAND — Rafer Alston scored 22 points, Yao Ming added 16 points and 14 rebounds, and the Houston Rockets tied a team record with their ninth straight road win, 93-85 over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

　　Houston last reeled off nine victories in a row on the road in 1993.

　　Tracy McGrady added 17 points and Luis Scola 15 as the Rockets won for the 12th time in 13 games.

　　James, who won his second All-Star MVP in three years on Sunday in New Orleans, finished with 26 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. It was his fifth triple-double this season and career No. 15.

　　Guarded by Houston’s Shane Battier, James missed all seven shots in the first half, but his 3-pointer early in the fourth brought the Cavaliers within 70-66.

　　However, Alston sank a long 3, Carl Landry converted a three-point play and Scola did too — all in a less than a minute — to put the Rockets ahead by 13.

　　James tried to rally Cleveland down the stretch, but every time the league’s best fourth-quarter player hit a big shot the Rockets answered.

　　Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Larry Hughes had 16 points apiece for the Cavs.

　　Cleveland looked as if it was still on vacation throughout a sluggish first half.

　　The Cavs scored just two points in the opening 5:20 of the second quarter and shot only 31 percent (12-of-39) from the floor in the first 24 minutes. The Rockets were in their own shooting funk, making only 33 percent (14-of-43) while taking a 42-36 lead at the break.

　　火箭队最近一次取得客场九连胜是在1993年。

　　特雷西·麦格雷迪(麦迪)获得17分，卢斯·斯科拉拿下15分，从而使

　　周日，詹姆斯在新奥尔良获得了其三年来的第二个全明星赛最有价值球员(MVP)称号。他在本场比赛中得到了26分、13个篮板及11次助攻。这是本赛季中他获得的第五个三双，也是其职业生涯中的第15个三双。

　　在火箭队球员沙恩·巴蒂尔的防守下，詹姆斯在首节的前半段比赛中七投零中，但他在第四节比赛开局便投中一个三分球，从而将骑士队的比分提高到了70-66。

　　然而，阿尔斯通还以一个远投三分球，紧接着卡尔·兰德里和斯科拉­打三分成功，几乎发生在不到一分钟的时间之内，从而使火箭队领先13分。

　　詹姆斯试图在最后阶段带领克利夫兰骑士队发起反攻，但每次只要这位西部联盟第四节发挥最好的球员投篮得分，火箭队都会还以颜色。

　　扎诸纳斯·伊尔戈斯卡斯和拉­里·休斯各为克利夫兰队贡献16分。

　　克利夫兰骑士队在整个上半场反应迟钝，似乎仍在度假中。

　　在第二节比赛进行到5分钟20秒时，克利夫兰骑士队只获得了两分，其在上半场的24分钟内，投篮命中率仅为31%(39投12中)。而火箭队则仍未从自己的投篮恐惧症中恢复过来，虽然以42-36的成绩进入半场休息，但它的投篮命中率也只有33%(43投14中)。
