After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets demolished the Hornets 113-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
