After Action Report
The Rockets handled the Suns 121-111. Rockets torched the Suns on the offensive end. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Rockets · 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.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
