After Action Report
In Houston, the Suns ran roughshod over the Rockets 119-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Never a doubt in this one.

- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
