The Houston Rockets just won their 22nd straight game by beating the Los Angeles Lakers. Eat a twinkie, Charles Barkley! To put the scope of this win streak in perspective, the mathematical odds of winning 22 straight games is: 1 in 4,194,304 !!!!!!!!!!! Try that on for size.
Yeah, the Rockets are doing pretty good despite Yao being out. Unfortunately the Spurs are looking more and more like a WNBA team. Hopefully, they'll pull out of this slump. 1st to 6th in 2 weeks, it's a rough gig in the west this year.
That is 22 consecutive games including both home games and road games. I don't remember the breakdown on home vs road games in that period. The last 10 games of the streak have been won AFTER Yao Ming went out with a fractured foot.
