After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Rockets 113-100. Every possession went the Suns way. The Suns ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Suns · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
