After Action Report
The Hornets held off the Rockets 102-96. Every possession went the Hornets way. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
