After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Suns 111-106 in overtime. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
