HOUSTON, March 17 (UPI) -- Aaron Brooks was perfect in his seven 3-point attempts and scored 31 points Wednesday, helping boost Houston past Memphis 107-94.

Luis Scola added 20 points and 17 rebounds and Kevin Martin had 18. Houston jumped past Memphis into ninth place in the Western Conference but trails Portland by 4 1/2 games for the final playoff position.
