After Action Report
The Suns held off the Rockets 118-111. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
