After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns held off the Rockets 102-93. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
