After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns snuck past the Rockets 128-127. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
