After Action Report
The Suns demolished the Rockets 120-82. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
