After Action Report
The Rockets edged the Hornets 107-101. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
