HOUSTON - Dwight Howard had 21 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks and the Orlando Magic took advantage of Tracy McGrady's absence to beat the Houston Rockets 97-92.
Yao Ming scored 19 on 7-for-18 shooting and had 17 rebounds in the first matchup of the season between two of the game's best centers.
Keith Bogans added 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Magic, who beat Houston for just the second time in 11 meetings.
McGrady left with a sore left knee at halftime after going 1-for-10 from the field in the first half. He bruised the knee in Saturday's loss to Dallas and went 5-for-18 from the field in that game.
