After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Rockets 93-90. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
