After Action Report
The Hornets rolled past the Rockets 117-80. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
