After Action Report

The Rockets fended off the Hornets 112-103. Every possession went the Rockets way. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
