After Action Report
The Hornets took care of the Rockets 98-85. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
