After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Suns 125-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
