After Action Report

In Houston, the Suns took care of the Rockets 105-90. Every possession went the Suns way. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
