ROUNDUP Wednesday's other games

Pacers 91, Rockets 82
INDIANAPOLIS -- In a fitting start for soft-spoken Yao Ming, the 7-foot-6 Chinese rookie had a quiet first appearance. Yao, the No. 1 overall pick in the June 26 draft, failed to score, had two rebounds, was whistled for three fouls and made little impact for Houston. Jermaine O'Neal scored 24 points and Ron Artest added 20 for Indiana, which overcame a career-high 39 points from Houston's Steve Francis.
Bulls 99, Celtics 96
BOSTON -- Trenton Hassell scored eight points in the final three minutes, including a pair of 3-pointers to twice give Chicago the lead. Hassell scored 14 and Jalen Rose had 21 points and 12 assists for the Bulls, who won despite familiar poor free throw shooting from rookie Jay Williams down the stretch. Paul Pierce scored 28 and Tony Delk had 23 for Boston. Antoine Walker had 14 points and 11 rebounds.
Raptors 74, Wizards 68
TORONTO -- Morris Peterson scored 20 points and Michael Jordan went scoreless in the second half -- and even missed a dunk. Jordan scored just eight points in 25 minutes off the bench. Kwame Brown had a career-high 18 rebounds, 12 points and five blocks for the Wizards. Vince Carter had 18 points in his first game since surgery on his left knee in March.

He returned and led the Lakers with 25 points and 10 rebounds.
Hornets 100, Jazz 75
NEW ORLEANS -- A hobbled but energetic Baron Davis got the party started for the New Orleans Hornets in their new home.
