After Action Report
The Suns edged the Rockets 103-96. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
