After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the Rockets 101-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
