After Action Report
In Houston, the Suns pulled away from the Rockets 119-107. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
