After Action Report
The Suns buried the Rockets 105-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 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.
