After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Suns 102-99. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. 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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
