Houston Rockets center Yao Ming has dominated the pre-season match against the San Antonio Spurs and help Rockets to a 93-72 home victory.     　

Yao grabbed 24 points with ten rebounds and two blocks, all the highest scores of the match.

His Team mate Tracy McGrady and rookie Steve Novak scored 11 points apiece, while Rafer Alston chipped in 10 for Houston.

Michael Finley and Matt Bonner both scored 11 points for the Spurs. But their star players: Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Bruce Bowen - all starters - failed to make the short trip.
