After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Hornets 134-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
