Rockets hold off Hornets to secure first win of season 128-119

It took four chances to get here, but now the Houston Rockets can finally say they won a game. Bolstered by a much needed three-point barrage, the Rockets secured a 128-119 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night.

This game featured numerous ebbs and flows, but Houston was ultimately able to outpace the Hornets until the end. A 21-for-37 shooting night from behind the arc highlighted the potential this team could have going forward after being plagued with below average shooting the past few seasons.

Each starter on the Rockets scored over 15 points on the evening with Jalen Green’s 23 leading the way.
