Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Luis Scola ended with 24 points and Kevin Martin added 21 to lead the Houston Rockets to their first victory of the season, a 120-94 defeat of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mark Bavaro Jersey . Jordan Hill provided 14 points off the bench for the Rockets, who dropped their opening five games and were the NBAs last winless team. Yao Ming scored 13 in a little under 17 minutes. Houston, which made 39-of-47 free throws, recorded its 12th consecutive victory over Minnesota. It was just good to get a win after all this time, weve been so close, said Rockets head coach Rick Adelman. To come out and get one, maybe we can start moving in the other direction. Kevin Love had 16 points and 16 boards to pace the Timberwolves, who have lost five in a row. We continue to make mistakes in areas where weve worked on it since training camp, said Minnesota head coach Kurt Rambis. Theyre not together. Theyre not unified as a team yet. Were still making simple mistakes on pick-and-roll coverages that we see every single day. Houston took control with a run late in the first quarter. Already ahead by five, the Rockets got two foul shots from Courtney Lee before Chase Budinger sank two from the line on a flagrant foul. Lee followed with a three, and Chuck Hayes got a layup to fall to cap the nine-point burst. Corey Brewer followed with a jumper to end the frame and get Minnesota within 26-14, but Houston maintained control in the second. Yao scored 11 in the quarter while Martin had 12 points, including a three that capped a seven- point flurry and had the Rockets ahead 52-30 with 3:03 left. Houston took a 60-37 lead to the break. Scolas 13 points powered the Rockets in the third quarter, after which they held a 97-67 advantage, allowing them to cruise to the finish.

Cardinals Jersey ., city council approved a measure Tuesday night that calls for entering into another one-year interim agreement with the National Hockey League to work together on securing ownership for the Phoenix Coyotes to keep the team in Glendale.TORONTO -- This is the human side to a trade that most people wrote off as a paper transaction. It plays out an hour before the Toronto Maple Leafs are even scheduled to start practice, with a single player skating laps on his own and firing pucks at an empty net. Others in the same situation may have already called it a career, but giving up simply isnt in Jamie Hewards nature. Just days before his 38th birthday and still recovering from his latest concussion, Heward is hoping to get in the Maple Leafs lineup before the end of the season. He suffered his injury while playing for Tampa Bay on Jan. 1 and was dealt to Toronto at the trade deadline earlier this month. "I know I was hurt when I got traded here," Heward said Thursday. "But just to be in Toronto and be in a hockey city has kind of rekindled the juices a little bit." The trade that brought him here was seen as a salary dump by the Lightning, who received a prospect from the Maple Leafs in exchange for Heward, injured goalie Olaf Kolzig, a minor-leaguer and a fourth-round pick.It turns out that Heward had other plans. Hes suffered four or five concussions during a career that has seen him bounce between almost 20 different pro teams. Even with mounting evidence about the long-term affects of head injuries, hes determined to carry on. "Ive weighed the options," said Heward. "At my age and this stage of my career, yeah, I feel its worth it to go out and try and play again. ... "I dont want the last vision of me as being carried off the ice on a stretcher. Id like to be able to play my last game taking a jersey off instead of having it cut off." That occurred in Washington on New Years Day when Hewards head smacked the glass awkwardly after a hit by Alex Ovechkin. He was knocked out cold and spent a night in hospital, where he woke up with concerns that he might have suffered some kind of long-term neurological damage. Even though he was in a vulnerable position when he was hit, Heward holds no grudges against Ovechkin. The former teammatess actually spoke about the incident earlier this week when the Capitals were in town. Tom Brady Jersey Authentic. . "Its a physical game, a mans game," said Heward. "I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. "The fact that he even acknowledged that he had feelings about it and was emotional about it is enough for me. I know how he feels and what kind of player he is." The road back to the NHL will still be difficult for Heward. Hes scheduled to undergo a test on Monday that will determine whether he can start practising with his teammates again. Even if he passes it, the Leafs certainly dont expect to have him in uniform over the next three weeks. "Personally I cant see him playing in a game," said coach Ron Wilson. "We only have eight games left, (Tomas) Kaberles going to be back ... "Hes been out with a concussion for two and a half or three months. You just cant get yourself in shape." Having the chance to get back in shape already represents a monumental improvement. Heward was unable to engage in physical activity immediately after sustaining the injury. It was a rough period. "You go through about the first two and half to three weeks, maybe even the first month of not being a normal person," he said. "Your life just isnt regular. Yeah, depression is part of it. "Youre upset that youre not playing, youre upset that you have to be in the press box watching games, youre upset that you cant deal with your family on a regular basis." At least hes back into a familiar routine now. The 37-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this summer and would love nothing more than to get into one game with the Maple Leafs before then. Hell continue skating on his own and working towards that goal, no matter how long the odds seem. You see, his comeback bid comes with an extra little bit of motivation. "For me, I want to be able to play a couple more games and have my little guy come down to Toronto and see what its like to be in the (Air Canada Centre)," said Heward. ' ' '
