After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets survived the Suns 109-107. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
