After Action Report
The Rockets held off the Hornets 93-84. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
