After Action Report

The Rockets survived the Hornets 103-98. Rockets' offense had its way with the Hornets. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
