HOUSTON — Yao Ming had 25 points and 11 rebounds, Ron Artest scored 27 and the Houston Rockets beat the Golden State Warriors 110-93 tonight.

Aaron Brooks had 22 points and nine assists, both career highs, and Carl Landry added 14 points and eight rebounds for the Rockets, who played without Tracy McGrady after he sprained his left ankle in practice on Friday.

Corey Maggette scored 17 and Stephen Jackson added 16 for the Warriors, who've lost nine of their last 10 road games.
