After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Hornets 116-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
