After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Rockets 111-102. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
