After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns buried the Rockets 130-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
