After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets demolished the Hornets 119-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
