After Action Report

The Hornets outlasted the Rockets 105-99. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
