After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Rockets 119-102. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
