After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Rockets 98-94. Suns' offense had its way with the Rockets. The Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
