After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Rockets 125-105. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
