After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Suns 124-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
