After Action Report
The Suns blew the doors off the Rockets 124-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
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.
