After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Hornets 107-71. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
