SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah Jazz point guard Devin Harris was feeling sick to his stomach and couldn't finish Wednesday night's game.

 

By then, the damage had already been done, as Harris pushed the tempo and helped turn an eight-point deficit into a 104-83 blowout victory over the Houston Rockets.

 

"It was all Devin," Jazz center Al Jefferson of Harris, who finished with 19 points before leaving late in the third quarter. "He attacked. He was a one-man factory tonight. We got behind him. He set the tone, especially after that first quarter."

 

The Jazz initially looked like a team that had dropped four straight, turning the ball over 10 times in the first quarter and falling behind 26-18.

 

The Rockets still led 36-28 after a 3-pointer by Goran Dragic with 7:31 left in the second before the Jazz closed on a 21-8 run, including eight straight points by Harris.

 

"That's the Devin I used to love and hate because he used to do that to us," Jefferson said of Harris' days in Dallas. "He did it the last couple of games, really stepped it up and attacked the basket. That's going to really get us going."

 

C.J. Miles provided the rest of the offensive punch, scoring a season-high 27 points off the bench on 10-of-16 shooting, including three 3-pointers. He started the comeback with nine points in the second quarter, including six straight and nine of 13 in a 4-minute stretch as Utah pulled to 36-35.
