After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Rockets 117-115. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
