HOUSTON: The Houston Rockets held LeBron James without an assist for the first time in his career and limited the Cleveland Cavalier to their lowest score of the season, recording a 93-74 win in the NBA on Thursday.
Yao Ming scored 28 points for Houston and Ron Artest added 15 while harassing James on defense most of the night, leading the Rockets to their sixth consecutive victory and ninth straight at home.
James scored 21 points, but went just 7-for-21 from the field with three turnovers. It was the first time in 493 NBA games that he failed to record an assist.
