After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Rockets 98-97. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
