The Rockets demolished the Hornets 125-98. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
