After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Suns 115-104. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
