After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Hornets 117-116. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
