After Action Report
The Hornets edged the Rockets 98-90. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
