After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns rolled past the Rockets 128-107. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Suns · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
