 HOUSTON (AP) - Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy believes Yao Ming has improved his all-around game. Yao showed some of that Sunday as he scored 32 points and had 13 rebounds as the Houston Rockets beat the Portland Trail Blazers for the ninth straight time, 102-84 Sunday night.
Yao had his team-leading 21st double-double, including 17 points in the third quarter, to help rally the Rockets from one point down at the half.
"I think he is the best regular-season center in the NBA now," Van Gundy said. "Some other guys may play better in the playoffs, but he's the best during the season because he comes to play every night."
