After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Rockets 114-95. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Hornets; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
