After Action Report
The Suns blew the doors off the Rockets 113-92. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
