After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets survived the Hornets 121-116. Rockets' offense had its way with the Hornets. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
