Rockets Vs. Suns Final Score: Houston Falls To Phoenix, 99-86

The Houston Rockets sure could have used Kevin Martin Sunday evening when they lost to the Phoenix Suns 99-86. Martin's replacement in the starting lineup has been Courtney Lee over the past four games, and prior to this one he had been averaging 18.3 points per game. However, against the Suns he was 0-8 from the field and his only two points on the night came from the free throw line.

The Rockets fell behind after a slow first quarter where they trailed by 13 points and could never recover from that deficit, but after that the Rockets played the Suns even the rest of the way. Part of the reason the Rockets fell behind was because of Michael Redd who came off the bench to go 10-of-13 and score 25 points which was a season high.

Another factor is that the Rockets made a single three-point shots compared to seven by the Suns. The Rockets have five players in double figures and the newly acquired Marcus Camby had eight points and eight rebounds, but it was not enough to beat the Suns.

Camby was acquired in a trade with the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Jonny Flynn and Hasheem Thabeet. Camby was not in uniform for Houston's 95-91 loss to the Clippers on Saturday as he was awaiting Thabeet and Flynn arrival in Portland and their impending physicals before the trade could be finalized.

Jordan Hill was moved in a separate deadline deal and Camby is expected to provide depth to the frontcourt behind Samuel Dalembert and Luis Scola. The Rockets have been playing shorthanded with injuries to Kyle Lowry and Kevin Martin in the backcourt. Martin is reportedly feeling better but no decision has been made on his status for Sunday's game.
