After Action Report
The Suns knocked off the Rockets 118-87. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
