After Action Report
The Suns upended the Rockets 116-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
