After Action Report

The Hornets snuck past the Rockets 103-99. Every possession went the Hornets way. The Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
