After Action Report

The Rockets demolished the Suns 112-74. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Suns' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
