After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Suns 122-70. Rockets torched the Suns on the offensive end. Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Suns are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
