After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns squeaked past the Rockets 116-112. Suns controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
