After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Rockets 101-99. Every possession went the Suns way. The Suns steamroller is in full effect right now; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
