After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets edged the Rockets 94-88. Hornets' positional fit overwhelmed the Rockets rotation. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.

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.
