After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Suns 111-89. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Suns are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
