After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Rockets 118-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Hornets; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
