After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns blew the doors off the Rockets 131-98. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
