After Action Report
The Suns fended off the Rockets 99-92. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; the Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
