After Action Report

The Suns squeaked past the Rockets 96-95. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
