After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets outlasted the Rockets 117-108. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
