After Action Report

The Rockets rolled past the Hornets 126-97. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
