After Action Report

The Suns ran roughshod over the Rockets 106-86. Every possession went the Suns way. The Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

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.
  • Suns · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
