Tracy McGrady sank a 3-pointer in his season debut, Luis Scola and Aaron Brooks scored 23 points apiece and the Houston Rockets snapped the Detroit Pistons' five-game winning streak with a 107-96 win on Tuesday night.

Rookie Chase Budinger had 16 points and 12 rebounds in his first career start and reserve Carl Landry added 19 points for the Rockets, who shot a season-high 54.7 percent (41 of 75) from the field.

Trevor Ariza served a one-game suspension and that gave Coach Rick Adelman a chance to start Budinger and bring McGrady off the bench for his first action since Feb. 9.

The seven-time All-Star entered at the 7:44 mark of the first quarter and missed his first shot, a 20-footer from the wing. He swished a 3-pointer from the top of the key for his only basket, then sat out the final three quarters.

Richard Hamilton scored 21 and Rodney Stuckey shook off a bad start to score 17 for the Pistons, who had averaged 99.6 points during their win streak. Detroit shot poorly most of the night, while the Rockets were a season-best 60 percent in the first half (21 of 35) and held a double-digit lead for most of the second.

While McGrady took the early spotlight, Scola was the best player in the first quarter, scoring 11 points to lead Houston to a 29-19 lead. The Rockets shot 67 percent (12 of 18) from the field in the quarter and Houston stretched the lead to 15 early in the second.

Hamilton hit seven of his first eight shots, but the rest of the Pistons started 7 for 26 from the field. Stuckey, averaging 23 points in Detroit's previous nine games, missed nine of his first 10 shots.

The Rockets built a 54-35 lead late in the first half. The Pistons finally found their touch in the closing minutes, finishing with a 12-2 spurt to cut Houston's lead to nine by the break.

Scola continued to work for baskets inside in the third quarter and Houston maintained its lead. Brooks threw an alley-oop pass to Budinger for dunk with 2:18 left to stretch the lead to 74-64. Brooks finished with 10 assists.

The Rockets had 23 assists after three quarters _ more than they've had in 16 games this season _ and led 81-68. Charlie Villanueva missed a dunk and Kyle Lowry passed to Budinger for a layup and eventual three-point play in the first minute of the fourth quarter, and Houston cruised from there.
