After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the Rockets 108-90. Every possession went the Suns way. The Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Suns · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
