MINNEAPOLIS – The Rockets may have seemed to take the first round of the playoffs for granted, but it means a lot to one fan.
Meng-Han Yang made the 7,138-mile trek from Taiwan to see his favorite NBA team play for the first time Monday night at the Target Center.
The 23-year-old student at National Taiwan University in Taipei, who became a Rockets fan during the Yao Ming-Tracy McGrady days, said the trip is expensive, "But it's the playoffs."
Yang, who is staying with a former high school classmate in Minneapolis, will be in Houston for Game 5, then return home on Sunday.
