After Action Report

The Rockets took care of the Suns 123-105. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
