After Action Report
The Hornets rolled past the Rockets 130-89. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
