After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Suns 117-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
