After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Hornets 110-80. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
