Last time Yao Ming faced Indiana, in his NBA debut and his team's season opener, he scored zero points and was labeled a "bust".
Just a month and a half later, Yao dominated Indiana, helping the Rockets beat the Pacers.
Big Yao, in front of a national ESPN audience, went off for 29 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocked shots, leading the Rockets past the Indiana Pacers 95-83.
Steve Francis added 19 points, but the rest of the Rockets were hideous, shooting 14-52 (26.9% shooting) from the floor. Fortunately, Yao had his biggest game to date to fuel the win.
