The Hornets buried the Rockets 128-73. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
