Rick Adelman earlier announced Aaron Brooks was on the hot seat of being benched. WIth the injury to Barry and improved performance, Brooks looks to remain the starter.

Player of the Game:
Yao Ming
Quote of the Night:
"Again we come in tonight as a team and come out as victors. We need to keep this streak alive. Hell, maybe we'll break last years winning streak eh? Yao was just unbelievable tonight and the Warriors had nobody on the floor that could match up with him. He hit mid range shot after mid range shot with his height advantage and without someone in his face in those situations, more of then not it will go in. Great team victory tonight and our chemistry is getting better and better. Head had some good minutes in Barry's absence and he really added to the depth of our bench. If he plays this well every night, Barry may not be seeing the floor much when he gets back." - Tracy McGrady
