After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Rockets 119-115. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
