After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets buried the Hornets 137-99. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
