After Action Report
The Rockets pulled away from the Hornets 137-118. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
