After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns outlasted the Rockets 125-115. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
