After Action Report

The Hornets squeaked past the Rockets 108-106. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
