 HOUSTON (AP) - Less than a week after returning from back spasms, Tracy McGrady looked as able-bodied as ever against Atlanta on Friday night. McGrady scored 31 points in only 27 minutes to lead the Houston Rockets to a 94-68 rout of the bad-shooting Hawks.
The six-time All-Star was playing his third game since missing the previous seven with the back injury. He received treatment last week from Dr. John Patterson, a rehabilitation specialist who's worked on Terrell Owens and tennis star Andy Roddick, among others.
"It's a process," said McGrady, who made 13 of 18 shots. "Each game, I'm feeling better physically, mentally. It's going to take a little bit of time to get where I want to be, but it seems like it's coming around."
