After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns buried the Rockets 137-107. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
