After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Rockets 99-91. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
