Hornets vs Rockets

Fifteen straight losses and the Hornets are team two to the Rockets return to the winning side of things. I was pretty confident we’d bring home the W on this one and maybe our guys were too. One thing you don’t want to do is come out too confident. We trailed nearly the entire game, down by as many as 17. And with nearly 50% 3-point shooting from the Rockets, it was hard to take and keep a lead.

Terry Rozier lead in points tonight and PJ Washington sent us into overtime, but my Player (coach) of the Game was James Borrego. Coach Borrego made a couple of great calls tonight. One was putting Miles Bridges in to secure a rebound on a missed free throw and the other was designing a play that got LaMelo Ball a pretty decent look for the win.

All in all, we were outplayed by a hungry Rockets team. On to the next.
