After Action Report
The Suns fended off the Rockets 99-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
