After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Rockets 105-102. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
