Their previous worst was by 33 points to Milwaukee on Nov. 18, 1980. Carlos Delfino and Marcus Morris each hit four 3-pointers for Houston, which made 16 of 34 from beyond the arc. Omer Asik had 19 rebounds as the Rockets (25-22) won their third straight. Houston led by 21 points in the second, by 35 in the third and kept pouring it on fourth. Randy Foye led Utah with 12 points.
