After Action Report
The Rockets fended off the Suns 101-95. Every possession went the Rockets way. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
