After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Rockets 117-93. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
