After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Hornets 103-100. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
