After Action Report

The Suns pulled away from the Rockets 118-103. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
