After Action Report

The Suns rolled past the Rockets 132-99. Suns torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Suns. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
