.LA.: I already played 3 games (will come in this days), I didn't get him I will do it in a trade or in the offseason.

Meh, don't sweat it man. Reggie Evans and Danny Fortson was a tremendous deal and will make up for not getting Stro' (IMO). Having a solid bench is important. Nice job. Looking forward to the start of the season, man. I think this could become one of the top Dynasty's here. Good luck, I will def. be checking it out.

Bibby and Brad Miller opened the last quarter with a couple of quick scores. McGrady and Mike James then nailed back-to-back 3s, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

"We showed character in the way we came back," McGrady said. "We played hard; even when we were missing, we didn't hold our heads."

"One thing I love about Tracy is he's got courage," Van Gundy added.

Rookies Luther Head and Francisco Garcia added 13 and 2 points for his respective teams.

All Evans' 12 points were when Jermaine O'Neal was defending him.

"Reggie left me speechless," Jeff Van Gundy admitted. "He was great today."

O'Neal had 21 points for the Pacers, who showed to the league their new jerseys.*

Surprisingly, Jonathan Bender and Jon Barry didn't play for their teams.

Dikembe Mutombo, guarded by Dale Davis most of the game, scored only 1 point in 9 minutes. "It wasn't easy today," he said.

"I think we need a little bit more pride. We don't feel too good about ourselves right now," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said.

Rookies Luther Head and Danny Granger added 14 and 11 points for their respective teams.

First, glad you like it ... for the Transactions I go to the Rockets official site and I get them in the News section; for the Awards & Standings I get them in the game; for the roster I go to the Rockets roster and the headshots from the players profiles; and for the recaps I get boxscores & screenshots from the games.

Great win man!...and once again, great recaps!

Nice win, I like the new Pacers Jerseys.

Great win against Indiana...didn't like the win against the kings ...good luck next game

2-0, congrats man. Tough competitors the Kings and Pacers are, and you did the job nicely. Great wins, glad to see Evans contributing. Definately a step up from Howard, so it seems. Good luck with the rest of the games, I will be reading.

Nice win again!
Good job

Nice wins. I can hardly wait for next game.

Yeah great dynasty. Excellent wins so far and fantastic screenshots as well, cant wait to see how T Mac and co do.

Good luck next game.

Minnesota | 119

Luck's In Rockets Path

HOUSTON (AP) --- Jon Barry scored 5 points -1 3-point shot and 2 free throws- all within a minute to finish. Thanks to this, the Houston Rockets defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves: 121-119.

Barry tried to make a shot in the paint two minutes before the 3, but Michael Olowokandi, who had 9 points, blocked him easily. Barry then made the 3 over Sam Cassell (23 points), and the free throws after a Latrell Sprewell's (20) fault.

"Well it was luck," he said. "You see, I only played 3 minutes but I could help my team to win."

Wolves' rookie Rashad McCants had 25 points in 8-of-17 shooting, all points over Rockets' rookie Luther Head, who (after scoring 13 and 14 points against Sacramento and Indiana, respectively) only had 6 points in 3-of-8 shooting.

Also, Kevin Garnett won the another battle of the game, against Reggie Evans. Garnett scored 24 points against Evans' 8, and grabbed 12 rebounds against Evans' 9. Evans also got fouled out, when Garnett only had 2 fouls.

As Head lost badly against McCants, reserve David Wesley won against Wally Szczerbiak (13 points against 7).

Right: McGrady with a 360 dunk

Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming combined for 53 points (31 and 22), and had 10 rebounds each.

Minnesota's bench had 18 points, when Houston's got 43. (Wesley 13, Mike James 12, Danny Fortson 11, Dikembe Mutombo 2, Barry 5).

"The bench was outstanding," Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy said.

"It was the first game I could see and let me say I got really impressed," new owner Thierry Henry said. "Both Jeff and Carroll (Dawson, GM) are doing an amazing job."

Rockets also showed their new gray alternate jersey.*

Wow, nice close win. T-Mac explodes for 31, but the bench gets it done. Well done, nice spread of minutes. Rocket's continue to roll! BTW, sweet Alternate Jersey's. Good luck with the next game.

Thanks to both I will need a lot of luck as I play against the Suns

Ouch, should be a high scoring game. T-Mac will HAVE to carry the team to a W.

Agreed and try to hold Nash to a...not so good performance.

Great win against the Timberwolves!
Good luck against the Suns!
