After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets downed the Hornets 91-79. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
