After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets buried the Rockets 122-89. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
