After Action Report
In Houston, the Hornets snuck past the Rockets 111-110. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
