After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Rockets 112-82. Hornets torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
