(AP)
Updated: 2005-11-10 09:04 Yao Ming scored 17 points in Tuesday's 76-74 loss to Orlando, but went
6-of-15 from the field and missed a short hook shot in the final minute. Since
McGrady got hurt, David Wesley is 1-for-11 from the field, Derek Anderson is
6-of-21 and Stromile Swift is 5-of-17.
"We're just struggling," Van Gundy
said. "Yao's historically been a very high percentage shooter, Stromile's not
making and no one on the perimeter is making. That basically covers it. We're
struggling to make shots."
Houston still should've won both games, thanks to a defense that's holding
opponents below 40 percent shooting. The Hornets and Magic went a combined
60-for-155 from the field (38.7 percent).
