Houston beat Seattle 117-94 in the Sonics' fifth exhibition game this month but their first at home.

Rookie Kevin Durant scored 25 to lead Seattle in his home debut. Tracy McGrady, however, was fantastic, finishing with 30 points.

"I noticed that we're both in the same league," Durant said. "We both play in the NBA. So I can't be starstruck if I see Tracy McGrady or LeBron James. I've just got to play. But it was fun playing against him, fun watching him run the floor. Just going up against him was a dream come true."
