After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Rockets 115-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
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.
