SEATTLE (Ticker) - Tracy McGrady scored 30 points and ShaneBattier added 19 as the Houston Rockets routed the SeattleSupersonics, 117-94, in a preseason game Saturday night.

McGrady had 23 points in the first half as the Rockets built a59-42 advantage by intermission. The All-Star guard, who hadplayed sparingly in his team's first three preseason contests,was 10-for-20 from the floor and 9-for-9 from the free throwline in 24 minutes of action.


Battier hit five of his seven 3-point attempts and was 7-for-12from the field.


After a slow start, rookie Kevin Durant had his best night as aSonic with 25 points in 33 minutes. Guard Delonte West, who hadmissed the last three games with a sore back and for personalreasons, returned to action, scoring 22 points on 8-of-12shooting.


Rookie guard Aaron Brooks, the Rockets' first-round draft pickfrom Oregon, returned to the Northwest and scored 12 points in18 minutes.


Seattle trailed by three points at 26-23 with 10:28 remaining inthe first half, but Brooks triggered a 14-5 run with a layupand a 3-pointer to give Houston a 40-28 advantage and the gamewas never close after that.


An announced crowd of 10,854 was on hand as Seattle (1-4) playedat their KeyArena home court for the first time in what may betheir final season in the Northwest.
