After Action Report

The Rockets pulled away from the Suns 111-96. Rockets torched the Suns on the offensive end. Suns' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
