After Action Report
In Houston, the Hornets buried the Rockets 124-82. Hornets torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
