After Action Report
In Houston, the Hornets survived the Rockets 121-117 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
