After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Suns 125-103. Rockets' offense had its way with the Suns. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
