After Action Report

In a track meet, the Rockets ran roughshod over the Suns 108-88. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
