After Action Report
The Rockets pulled away from the Hornets 117-102. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
