After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Rockets 106-81. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
