After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets snuck past the Rockets 112-109. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
