After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets fended off the Suns 108-102. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
