SAN ANTONIO (Ticker) -- Six players scored in double figuresfor the San Antonio Spurs, who survived a late rally to beat thedivision rival Houston Rockets, 99-92, in the final preseasongame for both clubs on Friday night.


Michael Finley scored 16 points to lead the Spurs, who finishedthe preseason with a 5-2 record. San Antonio shot 51 percent(40-of-78) from the field and was 9-of-17 the arc.

Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen and Fabricio Oberto did not suit upfor the Spurs, who had little rest after playing in OrlandoThursday night.


Tim Duncan had 11 points and six rebounds in 16 minutes and TonyParker had seven points. Neither came out of the locker roomfor the second half.


Tracy McGrady, who kept finding open lanes to the basket, scored21 points on 9-of-22 shooting for Houston, which is 3-4 in thepreseason.


Yao Ming was a handful in the paint, collecting 12 points and 12rebounds. He was also responsible for many of the Rockets' 18second-chance points and a big reason the Spurs had none.

Bonzi Wells added 13 points and rookie Luis Scola scored 10 forthe Rockets, who shot 41 percent (37-of-90) and outscored theSpurs, 34-12, in the paint.
