Top Performers...

- Yao Ming - 28 points, 10 boards.
- Kobe Bryant - 32 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals.
Things To Think About...
- Orlando got the W, but it didn't look good. Why would a team that's up 30, with Dwight Howard in the middle, continue to come down and jack up 3s and quick shots? Stan Van Gundy?
- Yao gets major respect points from last night. Not only was he killin', but he showed his toughness - the area of his game that's always been questioned. He definitely won me over with his refusal to go back to the trainer's room last night.
- The Rockets are so tough and balanced. Everybody got it in last night, and Aaron Brooks is problem. Their D has been on point all season, but can they keep the offense going?
- Both of last year's Finals' contenders are in trouble. Can Rondo and Ray Allen get their offense together for Game 2? Can the Lakers - not just Kobe - find a way to play with a sense of urgency, match Houston's toughness, and step it up on the defensive end?
