After Action Report
The Suns blew the doors off the Rockets 134-95. Suns controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
