After Action Report
The Hornets rolled past the Rockets 118-96. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
