Rockets lead Heat by 15 at the Half

Excellent first half for the Rockets!

Houston's leads the Miami Heat 63 to 48 at the break thanks 52.2% (24 for 46) shooting. The Rockets slipped Miami's hedging on the pick-and-roll throughout the first half and either scored lay-ups or dunks or got the foul line.

Tracy McGrady scored 17 points in the half; followed by 12 points from Rafer Alston. McGrady and Shane Battier each picked up five assists in the first half.

The Rockets dished out 17 assists on 24 made buckets in the half.

Dikembe mutombo grabbed 10 boards, too.

Houston's first half offense made Miami's defense look slow and old.
