After Action Report

The Rockets demolished the Suns 105-78. Rockets torched the Suns on the offensive end. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Suns' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
