After Action Report
The Rockets held off the Hornets 106-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
