The Houston Rockets' season without Yao comes to a merciful end in this game against the New Orleans Hornets. When the NBA playoffs start four days later, the Rockets will not be there, so this is your last chance to see Aaron Brooks, Luis Scola and Kevin Martin until next October. A season that started with the unexpected promise of a fast start disintegrated soon after the All-Star break and the Rockets have been playing out the string for weeks.
In many ways, tonight's game marks the start of the wait for the return of franchise center Yao Ming next season.
