After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Suns 97-96. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
