After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Rockets demolished the Suns 133-89. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

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.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
