After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Hornets 118-95. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
