After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets rolled past the Suns 116-85. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
