The Houston Rockets are looking to turn around their recent run of disappointing games, but that didn't happen when they took on the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.

The Rockets have now lost three of their last four matches, despite having Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady back on court. Andre Iguodala dunked over the 7-foot-6 Yao in the first quarter to give his side a 12-9 lead. But the Rockets built an eight-point lead late in the half, and found themselves 51-45 ahead at the break.

Tracy McGrady then scored 24 points with two 3-pointers to help the Rockets stretch their lead to 65-51. Philly did take advantage of Houston's 36 percent shooting from the field in the fourth quarter. But the Rockets still led by 82-75 with 9 minutes left.
