After Action Report
The Suns fended off the Rockets 117-108. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
