After Action Report

In a track meet, the Suns survived the Rockets 124-120. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
