YAO-SHAQ I: JAN. 17, 2003 "He's like a truck. I've never encountered someone that strong before." -- Yao Ming Rockets 108, Lakers 104 (OT) Recap | Box score Video highlights: 56k | 300k Shaq: 31 pts., 13 rebs. Yao: 10 pts., 10 rebs., 6 blks. HOUSTON -- The Shaq-Yao showdown was stolen by Steve Francis. Francis scored a career-high 44 points, stealing the spotlight away from Shaquille O'Neal and Yao Ming and lifting Houston to a 108-104 overtime victory over the Lakers. The first meeting between O'Neal, the 7-2, 350-pound superstar center of the Lakers, and Yao, the 7-5, 300-pound rookie center of the Rockets, began with a bang and had its moments. But the game's biggest star was Francis, who made 12-of-21 shots, 6-of-8 3-pointers, 14-of-17 free throws and handed out 11 assists. He made a 3-pointer to force overtime, then made six foul shots in the extra session before finding Yao for a crucial dunk with 10.2 seconds remaining. "It's certainly one of my top performances," Francis said. "With Yao and Shaquille, I didn't want to overshadow that. My points came within the flow of the game. I got into a groove and hit a shot."
