After Action Report
In Houston, the Suns rolled past the Rockets 121-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
