After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Rockets 130-109. Hornets torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
