The Raptors came away with an opening day win over the Rockets. They had clutch efforts from Raefer Alston and Jalen Rose.

After a slow start, and an inability to stop Yao Ming the Raptors mixed up their lineup putting Rose at pointguard and Loren Woods at center the Raptors were able to take the lead, nearing the end of the 2nd quarter. By half the Raptors had gone back down by one.

In the 3rd quarter the game stayed close and Jalen Rose and MoPete found a rhythm, going into the fourth the Raptors had a one point lead. In the fourth the lead changed almost every possetion, but Rose and Alston were able to hit big shots and give Toronto an eight point lead. Both Rose and Jefferson went 8-8 from the line to shut the door on a Houston comeback.
