After Action Report
In Houston, the Hornets edged the Rockets 113-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
