SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 26 (AP) -- Michael Finley scored 16 points to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 99-92 victory over the Houston Rockets in an exhibition game on Friday night.

Brent Barry added 13 points for San Antonio and Tim Duncan had 11.

Tracy McGrady led the Rockets with 21 points. Bonzi Wells added 13 and Yao Ming had 12 points and 12 rebounds.

It was the last preseason game for both teams and one more chance to test rotations before the games start to count. Houston will open on the road against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. The Spurs will host the Portland Trail Blazers after getting their championship rings.

Luis Scola, whose rights were obtained from the Spurs over the summer, started and had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Rockets.

The Spurs rested Manu Ginobili and Bruce Bowen, while Duncan and Tony Parker played limited minutes on the second night of a back-to-back.

Starter Steve Francis didn't play for Houston.

The absences let both teams take one more look at team hopefuls before Monday's roster deadline. The Spurs are down to 16, meaning they need to make one cut, while Houston listed 20 players.

The Spurs were up 31-24 after the first quarter and extended their lead to as many as 14 in the second as Finley went 5-of-6 from the field, including two 3-pointers, for 12 points. His last basket of the period put the Spurs up 50-36 with 4:44 to go in the half. The Spurs finished 9-of-17 from beyond the arc.

Wells almost matched him, going 4-of-6 from the field, including two 3s, for 10 points in the quarter.

The Spurs led 54-48 at the break. Finley paced the Spurs with 14 points. McGrady had 13 for Houston.

The Spurs kept a steady lead during the third quarter and were up by as many as 15.

Finley cooled, however, and Wells hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to bring the Rockets within 75-71 heading into the final period.

The Rockets threatened in the fourth, getting as close as 79-77 early, but the Spurs' reserves held the lead. Team hopeful Darius Washington had six points in the quarter.

Three other Spurs scored in the double digits for the Spurs. Matt Bonner had 12 points, Washington had 11 and Francisco Elson had 10.
