Houston, with Luis Scola coming on, won its first back-to-back set and had at least five players in double figures for the second straight game, both without Tracy McGrady. It's giving the team more reason to move McGrady, who is said to have quietly let it be known he's no longer happy in Houston.

Guard Bonzi Wells and center Yao Ming sat out Sunday's practice, Wells to get treatment on his sore left shoulder and Yao with the flu. Both are expected to play tonight.
Wells took a hard foul from Stromile Swift on Friday but played 33 minutes against the Raptors.
"He'll be all right," Rockets' Coach Rick Adelman said of Wells. "He was just sore, and they held him out to get treatment."

Though officially listed as "day-to-day" and out tonight against the Warriors, Rockets' guard Tracy McGrady said his time away to rehabilitate a sore left knee likely will be measured in weeks rather than days.
McGrady, 28, said Sunday he has been told he could miss three weeks because of a "deep bone bruise." He missed games last week against the Grizzlies and Raptors and doubts he will play Wednesday against the Celtics or Friday against the Magic.
"I'm the same," McGrady said. "They told me three weeks. I don't have a timetable. I can't do anything about it. It's not tendinitis. It's a deep bone bruise. I'm just doing therapy every day. I lost the strength in my leg. I'll see how I feel toward the end of the week, but Boston, doubtful; Orlando, doubtful."
