After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Suns 99-95. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
