After Action Report

The Rockets rolled past the Suns 105-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

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