After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets demolished the Suns 132-107. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
