After Action Report

The Rockets handled the Hornets 117-106. Rockets torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
