After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Hornets 116-94. Rockets' offense had its way with the Hornets. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
