After Action Report
The Rockets pulled away from the Suns 113-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
