After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Rockets 96-76. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 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.
