After Action Report

The Hornets blew the doors off the Rockets 126-92. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
