After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Rockets 101-89. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
