After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets blew the doors off the Suns 125-83. Rockets torched the Suns on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
