After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Hornets 120-81. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
