After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Rockets 134-110. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
