After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets ran roughshod over the Suns 134-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
