After Action Report

The Rockets fended off the Hornets 110-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
