Rockets go for 18th straight against the Hornets

The Rockets are on an incredible run, the seventh best in NBA history. They have beat teams down since Yao went down, the games aren't even close. They beat the Dirk-less Mavs on Thursday night, but can they hold off the New Orleans Hornets?

The Hornets are obviously one of the best teams in the NBA and the Rockets are trying to prove that they belong in that conversation as well, even without Yao Ming. Tonight should be a true test to see if this winning with Yao is for real.

The game is at 8:30 PM ET on NBATV, so if you have NBA TV, it should be worth the time to watch.
