The Rockets pulled away from the Hornets 100-87. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
