After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets buried the Rockets 130-98. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.
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.
