After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns blew the doors off the Rockets 132-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Suns · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
