After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets handled the Hornets 109-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
