After Action Report
The Suns rolled past the Rockets 114-89. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns are in a full-on tailspin; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
