The Suns outlasted the Rockets 104-97. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
