After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Rockets pulled away from the Suns 121-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
