After Action Report
The Suns snuck past the Rockets 107-105. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
