Argentina's Luis Scola scored a career-high 44 points to power the Houston Rockets past New Jersey 116-108 on Saturday, keeping the Nets on pace to have the worst season in NBA history.
A fourth consecutive loss dropped New Jersey to 7-59, leaving the Nets 16 games in which to win three to avoid matching the all-time futility mark in NBA history, the 9-73 campaign of the Philadelphia 76ers in 1972-1973.
The Nets led 55-54 at halftime and kept the game close into the fourth quarter but could not shut down the Rockets, who at 33-31 are 10th in the Western Conference, five games behind Portland and the last playoff spot.
