After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Rockets 96-94. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets are in a full-on tailspin; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
