<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Steve Francis was being Steve Francis again Tuesday night at Toyota Center, and any Rockets fan of the past several seasons can attest that isn't always a good thing. But if anyone knows how to handle being a score-first point guard, it's Francis. And there were times, huge swaths of time, when the Orlando Magic needed Francis to be their everything on offense. After having carried the Magic for the better part of 14 minutes in the second half, Francis figured the time was right to get his teammates involved in the game. His timing was impeccable, and the Magic earned a 76-74 victory over the Rockets, their first of the season. "Carrying doesn't have to be scoring. I've been saying that since I've been in Houston," Francis said after scoring a game-high 27 points. "I don't have to score points to carry my team. I can get rebounds and assists, and little plays like that can really help us."</div> Source
