After Action Report

The Rockets snuck past the Hornets 100-96. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
