With Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming healthy, the Houston Rockets are better than they have been in months. But even after a tough 93-89 win over the struggling New York Knicks on Sunday, the Rockets know they still need to improve.

McGrady scored 23 points and David Wesley added 19, including several key free throws late, as Houston won its third straight game.
 
"We are doing well," Yao said. "But we must do more. We are always looking forward."

Yao, in his fourth game back since missing 21 after toe surgery, looked to have shaken off any lingering effects of the injury with a strong start and scored 15 points. Houston's record is 12-6 when he and McGrady play. McGrady had missed five games with back spasms.
