T-Mac rallies Rockets past Bulls 84-77--News

　　CHICAGO (AP) -- Tracy McGrady was tired, tight, and couldn't shake his defender. He was feeling much better by the time the fourth quarter started.

"I knew I was going to take over," McGrady said.

McGrady scored 15 of his 31 points in the final period, hitting the go-ahead jumper to lift the Houston Rockets to an 84-77 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.

"I couldn't seem to get going, physically," McGrady said.

But once he found the energy, he didn't stop.

McGrady hit a 22-foot jumper with 1:19 left to break a 77-77 tie. Houston's Shane Battier blocked a driving layup by Ben Gordon with 25 seconds left. McGrady then hit one of two free throws to make it a three-point game and Chuck Hayes and Luther Head added two foul shots apiece.
