After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Hornets 139-100. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
