After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Hornets 137-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
