Kyle Lowry played through a right elbow strain on Thursday and had 14 points, one assist, one steal, one block and two 3-pointers on 5-of-13 shooting in a tough win at Phoenix. Lowry is one of the few Houston starters immune to the quick hook from Kevin McHale, and was the only starter to log more minutes than five players on the bench (25 minutes, barely more than Jordan Hill). He didn't shoot it particularly well, but the elbow didn't appear to be bothering him. The Rockets won at Portland on Wedneday and at Phoenix on Thursday, which would be a tough task for any team. Keep rolling with Lowry, which is more than we can say for the rest of the Rockets starters.
