After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Rockets pulled away from the Suns 115-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
